Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #51

All four Turtles cling to a New York City street sign pole — an N.Y.C. Neighborhood Watch sign planted squarely in the center — in a moody, purple-drenched composition that feels equal parts gritty and watchful. A. C. Farley's cover art arranges the quartet in a striking vertical split, their red, orange, blue, and purple bandanas immediately identifiable as they grip the pole from top and bottom. This September 1992 Mirage issue kicks off Part Two of the ambitious thirteen-part "City At War" epic, with Kevin Eastman, Peter Laird, and Jim Lawson steering the story.
