Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures #9

In "Codename: Chameleon," the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles face a slippery foe when a mysterious thief known only as the Chameleon steals top-secret government plans for a powerful weapon. Written by Dean Clarrain and Ryan Brown, with art by Jim Lawson and inks by Gary Fields, this 1990 issue sees Shredder hunting the thief—only to turn the tables when the Chameleon’s powers shift in unexpected ways. The cover by Peter Laird and Ryan Brown captures the moment of transformation, hinting at a twist that redefines the thief’s role in the conflict.
