PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
COWABUNGA! It’s been 25 years since Leonardo, Michelangelo, Raphael, and Donatello, emerged from the sewers of Manhattan and were transformed into heroes-in-a-half-shell battling petty criminals, evil megalomaniacs, and alien invaders. To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles®, Lionsgate Home Entertainment is presenting all 27 episodes of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Season 7, available for the first-time ever on DVD. Fans can collect the commemorative set that will be sold as four separate DVDs, each featuring different episodes from Season 7 and a Mini-Classic Turtles Action Figure! All four DVDs feature a different turtle on the cover, and fit together to create one power-packed scene with all of the wise-cracking, pizza-obsessed superheroes aligned and ready for battling evil. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Season 7 DVDs will be available on May 12th, for the suggested retail price of $14.98 each.

Although the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles brand originated with comic books first published by Mirage Studios in 1984, the “heroes in a half shell” found pop culture fame in large part due to the animated television series that ran from 1987-1997. The original animated series has enjoyed phenomenal success on DVD with more than 1.3 million DVD’s sold to date.

Mitchroney/Allan Commission (First Pencils)


Recently, I was fortunate enough to catch Ken Mitchroney and Chris Allan between projects. Ken and Chris are the two most prominent TMNT Adventures artists. I commissioned the two of them to do a piece together. It is an 11×17 horizontal fight scene between Man Ray and Armaggon. The process will be this. Chris pencils Armaggon, sends it to Ken, who pencils Man Ray, who sends it back to Chris who then paints the piece by hand. Chris just sent me the first pencils today…I’m getting excited
