–>> .. one of many pieces of promotional material from back in the heyday of Palladium Books & TMNT RPGs.

For load-time’s sake, highlights from this particular booklet are featured in this post ( since many of Tokka’s posts here are rather graphic dependent as it is ).

 

** The Entire Catalog is Available here for viewing on this t2z – flickr set **

Chalk full of wonderful illustrations clear across the board & images from the now classic RPG books by Mirage Studios Alumni, legends and friends like Jim Lawson, S.R. Bissette, Kevin Long, Palladium founder Kevin Siembieda, and of coarse Eastman & Laird.

Of interest are illustrations from the books do include obvious Mirage staples like Lawson and Steve Bissette; but one contributor to the well established Palladium Illustrative pantheon would be Kevin Long, who goes a tiny bit unsung in TMNT fandom circles.

Kevin is long known as a very popular artist for Palladium in gaming communities on everything from Robotech to RIFTS for a near ten year run.

Palladium Books presents "Turtles go Hollywood" by Daniel Greenberg :: To The Beach at Malibu ..art by Kevin Long (( 1990 ))

His explosive drawing & painting work on the TMNT related RPG books like Transdimensional Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Truckin’ Turtles, & Turtles Go Hollywood are of exceptional comic-book quality and really holds up after all these years.

Long deserves a “truck-load” of praise for his exciting illustrations that added extra fun visual element to enjoyment to playing and/or reading the Turtles’ games !!  Most of Long’s cool Robotech/Macross work is featured in this catalog.

“The overwhelming majority of the unsold copies of Mirage Studios’ ‘Hallowieners’ one-shot were destroyed when the company’s comic book backstock storage basement flooded at some point in the late 1990s.”

–>> .. prolly the first ( or one of the first ) well-known real ad-spread for Konami / Ultra by the famous; yet still “Mystery” Konami Artist. Least the earliest i can identify of his/her Konami ad work.

Same person known for other ads and North American Game packaging art by the same developer.

–>> A favourite scene from THE WIZARD is the TMNT ‘cameo’ where Christian Slater catches poor Beau Bridges playing the original NES Turtles game.. and he mistakes the first level for the third level. But i guess that wasn’t his fault per se. Still a funny scene.

Beau acts like he’s reeling in  a giant swordfish as he’s wrestling with the NES game controller.  Xp
