Lines: 19 From: "pugh jon%b.mfenet"@LLL-MFE.ARPA I have just been turned onto a comic book that really piqued my weird gland, it is called Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. It is just what it sounds like, a band of four kids who are turtle shaped [with shells] and trained as Ninja. Their names are Leonardo, Michaelangelo, Raphael, and Donatello. In issue number 5 they find themselves on another planet [having stepped into the TransMat Beam at the end of issue 4] helping a Fugitoid [a scientist trapped in a robot body] escape from 1) the government [who want his TransMat device to beam bombs onto enemy ships] and 2) the Triceratons [the enemy]. The boys do a good job in a situation that is completely out of their league. The mag is a b&w with interesting art and beautiful dialogue. I heartily recommend it. Check with your local comix dealer and make your request. Remember, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! Oh yes, there are miniatures and a role playing game out too, but I haven't seen them. Jon
