Always wanting to educate his young readers, in TMNT Adventures #26, Steve Murphy made a point to clarify that Oases are man-made, not naturally occurring like in most pulp media. #TMNT #ComicsHistory
Jack Kirby did Marvelmania posters for nearly every character, but some—including Hulk and Captain America—were replaced by other artists. Kirby’s Spider-Man poster featured Sentinels, but John Romita Sr. redrew it on-model, swapping in Green Goblin and Doc Ock. #ComicsHistory
In TMNT Adventures #36, writer Steve Murphy started implementing aspects of the 1990 film version of Shredder into his characterizations, referring to Splinter as "the rat" and to the Turtles as "freaks," something he did not do in TMNT media before the film. #ComicsHistory #TMNT
Marvelmania was one of Marvel’s first merchandising efforts: an outside company selling posters by Jack Kirby, Herb Trimpe, Jim Steranko & more. It was run by a con man who pocketed the money, stiffed the artists, and never sent most kids their posters. #ComicsHistory
This ad for Panic features a soda vendor sporting a prominent “Sody Pop” pin. Could this obscure little detail have inspired John Kricfalusi’s Sody Pop character years later? Just a tantalizing possibility… but what a connection if true! #ComicsHistory
Peter Laird got a new inker on the cover for TMNT Adventures #36, Jon D'Agostino! The issue also saw the return of Shredder, who has come to Mecca to steal the Black Stone and achieve immortality. #TMNT #ComicsHistory

A largely forgotten chapter in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles history is the MUSCLE & FAITH webcomic, which disappeared from the net after Mirage folded. I'll be sharing all 72 otherwise lost pages in this thread. #TMNT #ComicsHistory
EC Comics was sued by Gilberton, publishers of Classics Illustrated, over its Three Dimensional E.C. Classics, accused of imitating their title and format. William Gaines denied the allegations and the court refused Gilberton's request for a preliminary injunction. #ComicsHistory
For 25¢, members of the E.C. Fan-Addict Club got a certificate, wallet ID, shoulder patch and bronze pin. This playful marketing partially explains 1950s parents’ concerns, given the gulf between kid-targeted ads like this and the very adult EC stories themselves. #ComicsHistory

“Drink With Me Only With Thine Eyes” (The Haunt of Fear #24, 1954) is an unusual EC story. Graham Ingels illustrates a tale of domestic abuse that takes a considerably stranger and more disturbing direction than the usual EC formula. #ECComics #ComicsHistory #HorrorComics
EC Comics showed the ugly realities 1950s America ignored. This page from “Drink to Me Only with Thine Eyes” (The Haunt of Fear #24, 1954), drawn by Graham Ingels, depicts sexual assault and domestic violence; controversial in a medium considered for kids. #ComicsHistory
Jack Davis drew this subscription ad parodying the famous Maidenform campaign (“I dreamed I went to…”) when EC Comics launched Panic in 1953 as a companion to MAD. The second issue was banned in Massachusetts and an EC manager was arrested in NY for selling it. #ComicsHistory
Jack Davis illustrated this EC Comics subscription ad. Before the mid-1970s comic book shop boom, direct-mail subscription pushes like this were crucial for publishers like Bill Gaines to reach readers in areas cut off from newsstand distribution. #ComicsHistory
Even with Ninjara introduced in TMNT Adventures #29, April—only recently learning ninjitsu from Splinter in her late 20s—holds own against a cradle-trained ninja overcompensating for weaker April depictions. Even when female warrior exists, April still wins! #ComicsHistory #TMNT
I wrote in depth about TMNT Adventures #35 here, but another notable point is that alongside the controversial portrayal of the Muslim prophet Muhammad, this is the first issue where Ninjara openly reciprocates Raphael’s attraction to her. #ComicsHistory #TMNT
1/3 The Black Stone, issue #35 of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures arc, has not been reprinted by IDW due to a single page depicting the Prophet Muhammad (drawn somewhat incongruously with Caucasian features). #TMNT #ComicsHistory
April defeating Ninjara is so unnecessary because her best moment in TMNT #28 is when demonstrates her intelligence in leveraging her status as a TV reporter to convince guards that the Turtles are just actors. That's April's real superpower: she's smart. #TMNT #ComicsHistory
Colorist Marie Severin was called EC’s “conscience” by Al Feldstein for using flat colors to soften gore. But in The Trophy (Tales from the Crypt #25), the blood is picked out in red to depict a dead animal, one of the few instances of this in EC. #ComicsHistory #HorrorComics
Bill Wray illustrated the cover for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures Special #1. The first story, written by Steve Sullivan, attempts to bring nuance to Steve Murphy's ecological concerns by depicting both sides of the debate. #ComicsHistory #TMNT
Steve Murphy gradually introduced more adult themes into TMNT Adventures. #29 tackled the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, witnessed by Splinter as a teenager in one of the darkest uses of the character. #ComicsHistory #TMNT
April O'Neil #3 reveals Chien Khan’s origin: not born animal or mutagen-made. He was Yoshi Chen, a mixed Chinese-Japanese outcast in Chinatown, bullied as “dog,” who made a deal with a demon that fused him with his dog into a dog-man. #TMNT #ComicsHistory
