"I Think I"m Turning Japanese" continues with a stealthy new issue all bout the ubiquitous and mystified Japanese icon, the Ninja!
From their arrival on the popular culture shores of the West in the 80s to the present day, Ninja are a huge part of the modern comic vernacular. One writer/artist certainly saw to the bolstering of their popularity with work that would inspire a remarkably parody that forged an empire.
Like the night out of which they silently emerge, Ninja are with us now and forever...in comics!

Way back in 1984 Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird took a gamble that paid off in ways they could have never imagined. They bet on four turtles, a then obscure reference to Fuedel Japan, and the budding indy comics scene to get a return on investing their life savings.
Did they ever see a return! This week Andrew Farmer and Cole Houston discuss their creation, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, with none other than Figments and The Rantcor Pit co-host Eddie Medina. With Eddie as the in-house expert, expect a lot of insights and laughs served on the half-shell.

Experience some “Turtle Power” with this great new issue of Hey Kids, Comics! featuring not only the life and times of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, but the wannabe wave the title’s success spawned. Parody or cash grab? That really varied from publisher to publisher as irradiated critters took up the ancient fighting arts of the East and made the most of their youth.
Your host Andrew Farmer, his faithful sidekick Cole “JediCole” Houston, and guest TMNT aficionado Eddie Medina step into the fray as turtles, kangaroos, gerbils, and other wildlife converged on comic shops in the 80s in a battle royale for sales that left just four turtles standing!
