Warrior Dragon

Warrior Dragon burst onto the scene in 1991 within the pages of Archie's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures — the comic series that pushed the beloved turtle franchise into surprisingly ambitious, globe-trotting territory well beyond its animated counterpart. Debuting in issue #24, courtesy of Dean Clarrain, Garrett Ho, and Jim Lawson, this Copper Age curiosity shares the page with Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo, and a cast of distinctive characters including Fu Sheng and Chu Hsi, suggesting a story steeped in rich cultural flavor. With only a handful of appearances, Warrior Dragon is the kind of rare, blink-and-you'll-miss-it figure that makes deep-diving into TMNT Adventures such a rewarding hunt for dedicated collectors.
