Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #43

From Mirage's long-running original series comes this January 1992 installment, "Halls of Lost Legends," with cover art fully rendered by A. C. Farley. The cover plunges you straight into the action: two of the Turtles — one wielding sai, another armed with nunchaku — are locked in a fierce, close-quarters struggle atop a massive, snarling beast whose fanged maw and scaled hide dominate the composition. It's a visceral, ink-drenched image that captures the grittier, darker tone that made the Mirage run so compelling throughout its run.
