Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #5

In "Death Race," Leonardo faces off against a mysterious aquatic she-creature in the depths of the sewers, only to be thrown into a chaotic chase by a colossal snapping turtle. Trapped in a garbage-strewn nest with a strange, large egg, Leo must use the egg as leverage when the creature returns—just as Mikey, Raph, and Casey close in. The issue builds to a sudden collapse, burying the she-creature and her egg under the rubble, while a distant threat looms: the killer robot arrives in New York. Written and illustrated by Jim Lawson, with inks by Eric Talbot, colors by Eric Vincent, and letters by Mary Kelleher, the cover by Peter Laird and Kevin Eastman captures the chaos in vivid, dynamic detail.
