The original TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLE Indie/Underground Comic Book created by KEVIN EASTMAN and PETER LAIRD.

Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird thought they were making a joke about the countless mutant and kung-fu heroes in comics. So what better than to name their improbable series, “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles”? Little did they know that their joke would soon develop a cult of devoted fans, eventually turning them into an international phenomenon.

The Turtles: Donatello, Raphael, Michelangelo, and Leonardo, along with their rat sensei Splinter, are now one of the hottest tickets in town. Stars of stage, screen, and countless comics (including this, the original), they combine humor and action in a way that appeals to young children and hip intellectuals.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE ORIGINAL MIRAGE TURTLES COMICS ARE A LITTLE MORE EDGIER AND LESS KID-FRIENDLY THAN THEIR CARTOON COUNTERPARTS!
