[net.comics] TMNT #2

dub@pur-phy.UUCP (Dwight) (02/10/85)

	About 9 months ago, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles came out.
At the time I heard from somewhere that it was a one shot
title.  Sometime later someone on the Net mentioned there would
be a second issue coming out sometime.  Yet some more time has
passed and I was wondering if anyone knew if TMNT #2 would
ever appear.

Yes, I got issue #2 of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
last week.  Only one shop in Rochester (Comic Book Heaven)
carries it.
Dan Grove, the proprietor, tells me that he
has repeatedly tried to order copies of issue #1, but his
distributor keeps saying he can't get them.
#2 says that #1 has been repriunted at least twice to 
meet back orders, and may be again.

Incidentally, in #2, a new character says, "Say, how did
you turtles become teenage mutant ninjas?" or words to that
effect.  Instead of a flashback, the next panel has the
caption "An hour later..." and a footnote to see the first issue!

Anyone know where I can find a copy of #1?

It is out, and it is quite good.  I especially loved the line
where they need a virus program, and the turtle points out
that it would take days to write one, and they only have minutes.
As a programmer, it's nice to see a jab at the "whip up a program
on the spot to do whatever you need" style in comics (did someone
mention Kitty Pryde??).
