It’s a thrill to work with Neal Adams to promote and build a convention again. I had the pleasure of enlisting Neal to create an exclusive Green Lantern poster for one of the early New York Comic Cons  But to collaborate with Neal on a Batman cover is just fantastic.  And as a long-time Brave and the Bold fan, a team-up cover with a strong property like the TMNT makes it all the more special.
