DescriptionMy recent focus on finding published Hembeck art has hit another nugget! Fred did some variant 'sales incentive' covers for IDW in the 2010's for TMNT.Here in issue 2 we see Raphael with his Sai at the ready (wearing red- open to feedback from tmnt faithful if I have this wrong) flying through the air through a wave of arrows into a waiting army of bad guys with their swords drawn. Look familiar? Yep, it's an homage to Frank Millers Daredevil 189 cover -same setup, psi vs. clubs and turtle vs. DD. All provided in alt images for fun. Love this one, no swirly knees, but Hembeck aping Miller with his own fun twist is great. For some reason I'm imagining. Groo at the other end of that drawn sword, but who knows... Social/Sharing |

A cross between a Miller art
And a turtle on the book
Rafael comes flyin' in
And everybody looks
'Cause he's just got that Marvel thang
Fred everybody needs
And everybody wants him
But not as bad as me
Hey, Rafael, where art thou
Get art here get us more
I want to dance you darlin'
'Til you forget wherefore
Let's two step to a Hembeck
He'll keep it all in line
And we'll call this the Rafael
'Cause you're so mighty sai
Rafael, Rafael, Rafael come dance with me
That sexy turtle body
Beats all the other teens
I ain't never seen the artwork
Look that good in green
My cowabunga keeps risin'
Pizza time we meet
I may not be in love
But let me tell you
This is heat
Rafael, Rafael, I just know I'll get you yet
Rafael, Rafael, I want to have your Fred Hembeck
