Rewritten story that was originally published in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #8 (1986) which featured a crossover from Dave Sims' Cerebus
Due to concerns that Dave Sim would not allow the Cerebus story to be reprinted, an alternate version of issue #8 was written without the character which later proved to be unnecessary
The story was released by Illusion Studio who published early Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comics in Russian with additional, original content
