TMNT #1

"Because of guys like Dave Sim, who'd been self-publishing, and artists like Richard Corben, and companies like Last Gap and Kitchen Sink Press and Wendy Pini, we thought, 'Lets not send this to any publishers. Let's do this ourselves."
Kevin Eastman. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Ultimate Visual History
13 pages out of 40



The Turtles are able to beat the goons, and return to their underground lair.




Nagi's brother Oroku Saki dedicates him self to avenging his brother. After years of training the Foot's leader,promote him to led their New York branch.






And so Splinter has spent the last thirteen years teaching them the arts of Ninjutsu so they can kill Shredder and avenge Hamoto Yoshi. He named them after a book on Renaissance painters he found in the storm drains. Raphael is sent out to send a challenge to the Shredder.

Ah, yes those TMNT. Back when they trained under Stick and fought the Han-Oh wait, wrong antihero.

The good old days of self published independent black and white comics, with TMNT, Usagi and Cerberus coming out on top

That was a fun era. Shame it didn’t last, but it had some greats (Elfquest being another I’d think of) with lasting impact.

The original TMNT is fantastic.

Huh. I had no idea about Nagi. I kind of wish subsequent iterations had kept that, though I completely understand why the original cartoon didn't. It makes Saki less straightforwardly evil.
