Amazing Heroes 187 1st Space Usagi January 1991

Amazing Heroes 187 1st Space Usagi

January 1991


Though not a TMNT character, Usagi Yojimbo, created by Stan Sakai, has had quite a few crossover adventures with the Turtles and was even published by Mirage for a time. In this particular issue of Amazing Heroes, we get many insights from Stan about his creation and the first appearance of Space Usagi, a comic and upcoming Netflix series. While there are two Space Usagi appearances in the TMNT Mirage comics, issues 46 (April 1992) and 47 (May 1992), this appearance predates both issues by at least 1 year. Expect this issue to heat up fast, and remember you saw it here first!

In this catalog we find an ad for not one, but two TMNT products—TMNT and Other Strangeness, their first RPG game, and the 2nd set of Dark Horse Miniatures figures featuring Splinter and Shredder.

New England Comics Catalog 14 Fall/Winter 1988

In this issue, the TMNT is not only featured on the cover and in a spotlight on page 3, but also given an entire spread with looks at the toys, some of which were not yet released at the time this catalog was printed. The note below the figures listing reads: figures of Rocksteady, Bebop, April and a Clan Foot Soldier have been announced but have not been released yet. The vehicles, however, do have release dates, ranging from August (Cheapskate) to October (Technodrome). And a listing for Albedo 2 for a steal at $125!
