With Michael Zulli, he was  co-creator of the critically acclaimed 1980s independent comic \u003ci\u003eThe Puma  Blues\u003c\/i\u003e. Alongside fellow Mirage staffer Ryan Brown, the two men revamped  the \u003ci\u003eTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures\u003c\/i\u003e title for Archie Comics,  beginning in 1989 with issue #5. In their  hands the comic immediately  diverged from the cartoon series into  unique new story arcs, often  incorporating social, environmentalist,  and animal rights themes. It  also introduced several new characters of  various races and backgrounds,  including humans, mutants, aliens, and  other anthropomorphic creatures.  The stories were often seen as  \"deeper\" and more \"serious\" than the  cartoon. During that period,  Murphy co-created the characters Jagwar,  Nova Posse, Snake-Eyes, and  Sarnath; he united several of the series'  recurring characters as a  separate team, the \u003ci\u003eMighty Mutanimals\u003c\/i\u003e. Murphy  wrote the majority of his work on \u003ci\u003eTMNT Adventures\u003c\/i\u003e under the name \"Dean  Clarrain.\"","brand":"IDW Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46303323357413,"sku":"NP9781631408854","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781631408854.jpg?v=1730753879","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-adventuresisbn-9781631408854","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
