Yoshioka's Cat Woman April O'Neil

--Updated with higher-definition scan August 1, 2017--

 

Panel excerpt from Comic Bom Bom (1995 November)

 

In this take on the TMNT "manga-verse", April O'Neil briefly mutates into a more feral fashion of her feline form and is captured by the Foot Clan. The Super Turtles must combine their power to form the legendary Turtle Saint in order to defeat Dark Devil Shredder, liberate New York, and rescue April. ~~Whew! :-P

 

Drawn by manga artist, Hidetsugu Yoshioka, famous for his work on the Transformers franchise. Thanks to Hydra of Allspark.com for publicizing its existence.

 

Turning April into her mutant feline form was Yoshioka's contribution to the original Comic Bom Bom script, according to his statement in a recent interview: "April was slated to appear in the story, but having her be mutated into a cat was my own whim."
