Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #3
In "Evolution," the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles face a chilling mystery as a mysterious robot—wielding Baxter Stockman’s stolen glasses—terrorizes the desert, leaving a trail of dead security guards in its wake. While Raphael takes refuge in an old church steeple and Donatello narrowly escapes detection at Casey’s farm, the team grapples with shifting loyalties and the unsettling idea of a new home, all while April’s tenants whisper about her latest decisions. Written and illustrated by Jim Lawson, with inks by Jason Temujin Minor and letters by Mary Kelleher, this 1994 issue features a striking cover by Peter Laird and Kevin Eastman.
