It is pretty nuts. They had a TMNT art exhibit in San Francisco when i visited a year or two ago. One of the coolest success stories in comics imo.

I don't think any non-Marvel/DC comic will ever reach that level of popularity besides Walking Dead.

Greatest 80's / 90's (early yrs) cartoon ever.
Need to put it on blu ray.
I'd buy the whole set again, love the Turtle Van Collection.

For the most part the idea began as satire of Marvel but people thought it was good enough to stand on its own.

Yeah I love the Ninja Turtles.

The 1990 movie is a total comfort film and the 07 one is always a fun watch too.

Yeah I'm sure it was originally supposed to sound absurd and funny in a way that would make people wonder "wtf is that all about?".

But we've heard it so much that it's just not absurd anymore unless you sit and think about it.

Yeah as others have stated, it was meant to be a parody of Daredevil.

They self printed the first issue and the thing sold out at comic shops. Before anyone knew it, it took off. Love turtles.

Teenage Mutant was a spin on the X-Men
Ninja came from Daredevil
Turtle was from Cerebus

There is a convention coming up in my area and Kevin Eastman is going to be there along with the Professional Ninja Turtle Team from Cowabunga Factory....

I'm hoping I'm not in the hospital, and if I am I'm getting a day pass. I am taking my son to that to get pictures.

It was actually New Mutants, not X-men.

Dude I would so love to go meet Kevin Eastman.

Not that that always gets to happen but even just hearing him talk about TMNT would be p sweet.

Well... I wouldn't say a "parody of Daredevil." Was there ever any kind of connection to DareDevil besides the chemical ooze?


Splinter is Stick and New York. Daredevil as The Hand, TMNT has The Foot
