Battletoads comic, GamePro, 1993.

In 1991, Nintendo Power ran a Battletoads comic in 2 issues. In 1992, there was a pilot for an animated series that recast the Toads’ human forms as teenagers. In 1993, GamePro magazine printed another comic in 2 issues that was a direct adaptation of the animated pilot. I haven’t seen the latter mentioned much before, so here it is, thanks to scans from Retromags and Aka Games.

Note that the story (carried over from the pilot) is credited to David Wise. This is an entirely different David Wise to the legendary Rareware composer who did the music for all the games. Same name, strange connection.
