My favorite part from issue #1 is when the turtles save April O’Neil from getting mugged. Rafael pins a guys head to a wall by stabbing him in the forehead with his sai.
I cannot recommend the original TMNT comics highly enough – cool chunky art, weird characters, amusing dialogue, and really cool fights. The cartoon was fun, but I always preferred the darkness of the original.
Have they collected the first issues in any kind of TPB yet? I had some of the issues, but they were later in the series, so I have no idea what the REALLY early works were like…
Based on the color of his mask and elbow wraps, that’s Rafael. Rafarl carries sais, not a sword. Image is still cool though.
Actually, in the original blood-drenched comics, all four turtles wore red masks.
The original works had them all in the same color…

I stand very corrected.

Brutal.
Is there anywhere online that has a repository of them? I hadn’t even known there were comics of them up til now, and now I want more. o__o
well, other then z-cultfm or thepiratebay.org I’m not sure where else you could possibly look. Mile High comics might have some to purchase.
Actually… I found the first issue at least in ultra low resolution: www.ninjaturtles.com/comics/mirage/one/pg01.htm
