The Adolescent Radioactive Black Belt Hamsters

    (Eclipse, 1986-1989)
™ and ©1986 Eclipse Comics

Bruce, Chuck, Jackie, and Clint are just four normal young rodents, selected to serve as guinea pigs (how humiliating for hamsters!) on the test launch of a new NASA rocket. Cosmic rays transform them into the Adolescent Radioactive Black Belt Hamsters, who, after years of martial arts schooling, turn their powers to the benefit of all mankind.

They say that imitation is the most sincere form of flattery, and if that’s true, then who could doubt the sincerity of writer Don Chin, artist Parsonavich, and editor Cat Yronwode in their efforts to flatter (and capitalize on) the most surprising comics success story of the mid-1980s, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
