Today's #ComicShowAndTell book is actually a martial arts manual!

Eastman and Laird's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Authorized Martial Arts Training Manual (pub. 1986) illustrates stances and step-by-step forms for each of the turtles' signature weapons. I can only imagine how many kids tried these out with sticks and whatnot.

The songbook features illustrations from a variety of artists. Interestingly, the lineup includes Neil Gaiman, who provided art to accompany "The Murders on the Rue Morgue".

Let's start this #ComicShowAndTell series with something crazy!

This is The Punisher Meets Archie, published in 1994. In this story, the Punisher chases a dangerous criminal into Riverdale…a criminal who looks a lot like Archie. The premise apparently started as a joke between the creators.

The cover of this comic is die-cut into the shape of a crosshair, right over Archie's face on the page beneath.

I’ve been getting sentimental about my beloved comic collection. It's not the biggest or the most valuable, but it's mine.

So I'm starting a weekly #ComicShowAndTell where I share my comics and collectibles, from the notable to the bizarre. I might have manga to talk about too, once in a while.

I'll try to keep this going once a week, maybe not always on the same day though.
