Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures Special – “Coney Island Days” by Milton Knight (( 1993 ))

–>> Tokka still retains that the TMNT mythoes have been helped shaped in retrospect of a very short period of time by legendary artists and story tellers. ‘Coarse Turtles fans already knew this, but those outside of the know had given Tokk allot of guff about it since he was a kid.

Whatever-

Thanks to a tip from X – “LEGENDARY” in all sincere senses of the word inspiring fine/pop-artist, animator, character designer, and comic book illustrator and cartoonist Milton Knight and his classy; 1-of – a kind ‘Terry Toons’ on crack style is brought back into this Snapper’s spotlights.

If you aren’t quickly recalling his excellent n’ wacky contributions to the “TMNT ADVENTURES” Specials ( Remember Extra Dimensional Farmer Louie and his famous floating-farm, Oxy Moron, Kid Cortex, the villainous swine monster Sooey Generis, and a particular Baby Cleaver who had a really bad sinus problem and used to sneeze out demons and all sortsa crazy critters – it was up to the Green Teens to save him from some twisted Clansmen !! !! ) !!

All over the map, Milton has crossed artistic Pop-paths from the famous to the most imfamous. Character and animation designs on the cult film “Cool Wold”, Felix the Cat, The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog , Heavy Metal Magazine, Work in the publications of Fantagraphics & Nickelodeon Magazines, Gallery artist and educator. This doesn’t even “SCRATCH” the surface.

When exploring **Milton’s site ( being aware of some of his more risque Adult art that may not be suitable for the younger set ) you will encounter Milton’s final TMNTA story contribution.

“Here’s the last Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles story I did (with a little credited help from my friends). It remains unpublished because Archie Comics halted the series soon after it was finished. From 1993 (concurrent with my Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog work).”

CONEY ISLAND DAYS! marks the return of Hallocat ( better known as “Scratch “ and his frightening Mutant-Monster pals Nocturno the Owl and Nevermore the Scarecrow. The Uncanny Trio’s ‘Blows the Turtles Minds’ literally and two somewhat “Honey Mooner – ish” Brooklynites adopt the 4 teens temporarily for a Wrestling exhibition of a much different kind than the Turtles had encountered before. And one that’s more local as they become an attraction at N.Y.’s famous Coney Island !! The insane tale also seals the final fate ( ? ) of the Uncanny Trio as the Turtles Rock the Fun House !!

So in case you hadn’t seen this –

☆ ★ Die EC – Hannover Turtles – The Official TMNT Hockey Team ★ ☆

★ ☆ ★ ☆

Casey Jones .. eat yir heart out !! !!

–>> A professional Hockey Club established in 1948; the Hannover Indians [ Hannover, Germany.. the capital of the federal state of Lower Saxony ( Niedersachsen ) ] have been sports legacy in Deutschland since just the the post World War II era.

The ‘Indians’ are part of the Hockey Organization known as Eislauf-Club ( ‘EC’ or “Skating Club” ) Hannover Indians and have been playing under the name and slight variations of the word since the 1940s.

A unique temporary renaming & licensing opportunity with Mirage in the 1996 – 1998 Hockey seasons had the Indians playing under the moniker of the “EC – Hannover Turtles”.

Thus making the Indians the first and so far “ONLY” sports team in history to officially be sanctioned to have the TMNT as their representative Team Mascots !!

The Turtles would play in the sub-prime 1st League until late 1998 when Hannover would have the team revert back to the “Indians” moniker.

The Famous / Infamous Hannover Hockey team survives today with the TMNT serving as a special part of the team’s history.

Also, the Turtles serve here as a an interesting and rare licensing occasion in the lexicon known as ‘Sports Mascots’.

Hannover Turtles memorabilia, pennants , Hockey Jerseys and apparel can be particularly challenging ( and in some cases expensive ) to find; especially if you are in North America.

Original “Hannover Turtles” North American Press Release ; 1996 ::

Great Oogly Moogly! The Turtles are turning pro!

Hockey is growing in popularity around the globe, and the TMNT are proud to be a part of the movement in Hannover, Germany! The Hannover Turtles made their debut in September of ’96 and are currently skating their way to the top of the iceberg!

The team formed earlier this year and features young and ambitious players. With teammates hailing from Canada, America and some hometown Hannover heroes, the Turtles are an international smorgasbord of pugnacious puck blasters.

The Hannover Turtles are part of the First League of Germany (1. LIGA) and will travel throughout the country during the season. During the Autumn of 1996, a new arena with a capacity of 18,000 spastic spectators will be built and ready for games in March 1998. This will give the Turtles one of the coolest rinks in all of Germany!

Also in the works is an in-line hockey team that will utilize the Hannover Turtles logo and jerseys!
