Mondo Gecko

Mondo Gecko burst onto the scene in 1991, a product of the early Modern Age's appetite for wild, mutant mayhem, born from the creative minds of Dean Clarrain, Ken Mitchroney, and Garrett Ho. A fixture of Archie's beloved TMNT Adventures corner of the universe, this gecko-gone-mutant carved out his niche across the pages of Mighty Mutanimals and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures, sharing adventures with a gloriously offbeat crew that includes Leatherhead, Jagwar, Dreadmon, and even Raphael himself. His appearances may number in the dozens rather than the hundreds, but that compact run is packed with the kind of scrappy, colorful energy that made Archie's TMNT titles such a cult treasure. For fans who love the weirder, wilder edges of the Turtles' world, Mondo Gecko is exactly the kind of deep-cut character worth tracking down.
