On this episode of the AIPT Comics Podcast, we’re joined by Andrew Joustra, whose creative path has taken him from animation and film straight into the world of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Joustra stops by to talk about making his comics debut with Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #4, what it meant to finally see his name on a TMNT comic after years in Hollywood, and why reimagining Fugitoid was the perfect entry point into the franchise. It’s a candid, enthusiastic conversation about lifelong fandom, crossing mediums, and finding the right moment to jump into comics—with the Turtles as the dream project.
