Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #60

Part eleven of thirteen in the sprawling "City at War" saga, this June 1993 Mirage issue builds unmistakable tension as all four Turtles — weapons raised and battle-ready — face off against a towering, cloaked figure whose outstretched arm and shuriken-armed gauntlet dominate the foreground, with lightning crackling between the two sides. The composition by cover artist A. C. Farley is genuinely gripping, framing the confrontation as a clash of raw power against teamwork. With the thirteen-part storyline deep into its endgame, this is exactly the kind of penultimate buildup that keeps readers coming back.
