Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Cine-Manga

    (Tokyopop, 2004)
™ and © 2004 Mirage Studios, Inc.

Presented in Tokyopop’s Cine-Manga format—which combines TV animation captures with comic book style lettering, this digest–size comic book adapts two episodes of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles television series. Riffing on Frank Miller’s work on Daredevil and Ronin, the TMNT are Leonardo, Michelangelo, Raphael, and Donatello—students of the rat–sensei Splinter and enemies of Shredder and his notorious Foot clan. Eighties nostalgia is big news in the early part of the twenty–first century, and the Turtles are riding that wave to reach old and new fans alike.
