Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures #32

From Eastman and Laird's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures #32 (May 1992), "The Good, the Bad and the Tattooed" promises a bruising confrontation right on the cover — a massive, yellow-skinned tattooed brute dominates the scene, clutching a skull while three of the Turtles (identifiable by their red, blue, and red bandanas) press in from all sides with nunchaku and blades flying. It's a dynamic, chaotic image that wastes no time signaling this issue is all about a seriously dangerous new threat crashing into the Turtles' world. Archie's Adventure Series was delivering some genuinely energetic comics in 1992, and this cover makes a strong case for why.
