A satirical graphic novel by artist, musician, creative polymath and Moldy Peaches founder Adam Green (born 1981), Subcultural Karate Turtles is a parody of the popular Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon. Green reimagines the turtles as subcultural artists who must battle the mainstream to determine the future of art. Set in an intergalactic Kabuki theater, the book is a play inside of a comic book. Against the backdrop of childhood iconography, the psychedelic dialogue functions as a critique of cultural theory.
