Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (comics)

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles began in comic books, and the medium has been where several of the franchise's incarnations have taken place. Here are the most prominent ones:

• The Mirage books: Includes the original Eastman and Laird comics, their spin-offs, and the Image series that served as a continuation.
• The Archie books: Initially published as a tie-in to the original cartoon under the title Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures, they eventually went into their own odd direction.
• The IDW books: The first new incarnation of the turtles since Nickelodeon bought the property, it mixes and matches elements from the turtles' history.
