Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - Comics

Eastman and Laird's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was the original comic book that spawned the later television shows, movies, and video games. They were first published in 1984 by Mirage Studios. The concept originated from an evening of casual brainstorming. Kevin Eastman drew a picture of a turtle with nunchuks strapped to his arms. Peter Laird thought a slow turtle as ninja was very funny. Eventually, they created a team of four turtles, each specializing in a different weapon. The comic book was in an oversized magazine format with black-and-white art. It was printed on cheap newsprint and only 3,000 copies were produced. It was extremely popular and soon it sold for 50 times it's original price.
