Bellybomb

Bellybomb burst onto the scene in 1991, a product of the creative minds of Dean Clarrain and Chris Allan during the Copper/Modern Age boom of TMNT spin-off storytelling at Archie Comics. Debuting in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures #23, this character shares the page with some seriously heavy hitters — Raphael, Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo, and the fan-favorite Slash — which tells you right away that Bellybomb moves in dangerous circles. With only a handful of catalog appearances, this is exactly the kind of obscure gem that dedicated TMNT Adventures collectors love to hunt down, a quirky piece of Archie's wonderfully weird expansion of the Turtles universe beyond the mainstream continuity.
