			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Some time ago (probably a couple of years) I learned about a couple of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tmnt"><span class="caps">TMNT</span></a> issues that I wanted to read. Yes, that means &#8220;Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles&#8221;. I never thought I would <em>want</em> to read a <span class="caps">TMNT</span> comic, let alone <em>paying</em> for it, but there you go. The reason why I wanted to read those issues were some amazing drawings by a very talented artist. Also, that apparently the story was much more &#8220;mature&#8221;. Presumably it just got the idea of four turtle-like creatures (anthropomorphising them in a somewhat natural way, a bit like <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blacksad">Blacksad</a>), and he added some amazing art to support the story.</p>
<p>The problem was, I had forgotten about the title of the comic and the artist name&#8230; and I didn&#8217;t have the bookmark (if I had had <a href="http://www.opera.com/products/link/">Opera Link</a> at the time, that would not have happened; but I digress). So, a couple of weeks ago I got really obsessed with it, and I decided to look for it again. After a couple of hours to fruitless search, I finally found it. It was <a href="http://www.ninjaturtles.com/comics/books/souls-winter.htm">Soul&#8217;s Winter</a>, by the incredible Michael Zulli (<a href="http://www.michaelzulli.com/">official page</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Zulli">Wikipedia</a>), also author of &#8220;Delicate Creatures&#8221;, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Puma_Blues">The Puma Blues</a> and some work on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sandman_(Vertigo)">The Sandman</a>. Have a look at the art in <a href="http://www.ninjaturtles.com/comics/mirage/volume01/36/36.htm">the</a> <a href="http://www.ninjaturtles.com/comics/mirage/volume01/31/31.htm">issues</a> <a href="http://www.ninjaturtles.com/comics/mirage/volume01/35/35.htm">themselves</a>.</p>
<p>Once I had the title of the comic, I started looking for it. Unfortunately, in the first couple of shops I tried, it was out of stock. Then I found it on <a href="http://www.hillcity-comics.com/">Hill City Comics</a>, and I decided to buy two more comics (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/India_Authentic">some weird Indian-God-themed ones</a>). The site doesn&#8217;t look completely professional to me, so I decided to pay via PayPal instead of giving my credit card number. However, I didn&#8217;t receive any information as to which address should I make the payment to. I waited for a couple of days just in case, and then I sent an e-mail, but it seems that the <span class="caps">SPAM</span> problems <a href="http://www.hillcity-comics.com/HELP.htm">they talk about</a> are really serious <code>;-)</code></p>
<p>I think I&#8217;ll pass on the telephone call, so I decided to just go to another shop. I won&#8217;t have the indian comics, but what the hell. The second shop I found is called <a href="http://www.marsimport.com/">MARSimport</a>, and it looks much more professional than the first one. Also, they have &#8220;From Cloud 99: Memories Part One&#8221; from <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yslaire">Yslaire</a>, so I think that&#8217;ll compensate for the indian ones <code>;-)</code></p>
<p>I haven&#8217;t ordered yet, but I will soon. Wish me luck <code>:-)</code></p>
