The Show:
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles started out as a comic series by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird. The two men formed Mirage Studios and debuted the first issue on May 5, 1984. Its success was phenomenal. It soon spawned another comic book series by Archie Comics, a cartoon series, a movie trilogy, and another comic book series by Image Comics. But it is the cartoon series and the movies that pertain to my stories.
The cartoon series ran for ten seasons from December 1987 to 1996.
