This is the original art for page 24 from issue #16 of Tales of the TMNT (published in 2005 by Mirage Publishing) penciled by Doug Rice, and inked by Hilary Barta. It comes to the NCS directly from the collection of Barta who graciously donated this and two other pages of his art offered in our other auctions today. It measures 11x17” on Bristol board, and is signed in the lower right corner by Barta.
Barta’s comics career began in 1982 as an assistant inker for The Defenders, and quickly started inking on other titles solo. Over the years he has worked on titles such as The Thing, American Flagg!, Power Pack, Plastic Man, The New Mutants, The Simpsons, and SpongeBob Comics. Barta’s natural style lends itself so well to humor comics, and whether penciling, inking or both, he is a fan favorite with his extremely entertaining work.
Don’t miss this chance to be the first owner of this original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles art straight from the files of the artist’s own collection!
