Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #6 Key Issue

1ST APPEARANCE OF LEATHERHEAD

 Mr. Marlin is hunting big game in Africa. The man is charged by a bull elephant, but he calmly shoots it dead in its tracks. One of his underlings congratulates the hunter for killing the last Madagascan Blue Elephant. Marlin orders his employee to make plans to have the body sent to a prepared trophy room. The hunter then boards a helicopter and complains that he's tired of the "usual" big game - that he needs to hunt something more "exotic". As he speaks, Marlin is reading a newspaper clipping reporting sightings of a huge alligator. The hunter tells his servant to make arrangements for him to fly to New York City. As the helicopter veers off into the distance, an armed man grasps the discarded article and shakes his fist and the craft, vowing that he won't fail to catch Marlin again.  Marlin ends up in New York and encounters the alligator man, the mutant Leatherhead. The turtles and Leatherhead strike an alliance after the alligator frightens Marlin.
