Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles caused a black-and-white explosion with its arrival in 1984. Admirers and fans have made it the largest selling black-and-white comic of the decade - the first issue has been reprinted four times. TMNT has been largely responsible for an unprecedented growth in the comics industry and the blueprint for numerous imitators.

First Comics now presents the original three issue origin in one full-color graphic novel. This deluxe collector's edition also includes two never before published stories by creators Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird.
