Wow, awesome!!! I've been keeping an eye out at conventions for issues I used to have and this is great reference. Thanks for posting these!

I wish there was a guide like this just for specials & mini-series, as those are what I have a hard time keeping track of.

Although I still appreciate the good folks at Mirage for their work in creating these lists over a decade ago, I think DrSpengler's TMNT Entity is the definitive standard for summaries and reviews on the old Archie stuff:
http://tmntentity.blogspot.com/2008/...ie-comics.html

Spengs has covered EVERYTHING related to the Archie run including specials, minis, and even the most inconsequential, obscure and... uh... unusual tie-ins.

[DrSpengler]

If I had to read an official TMNT porn comic then the rest of you have to suffer through the summary.

It's only fair.

Well... I have you guys to thank for my mental state now

[Nasubionna]

Thank you for this, evan2000 and DrSpengler! Awesome and appreciated resource!

[zaktheneutrino]

Great thread, thank you guys! I have read a large portion of the Mirage comics, pretty much everything aside from some specials and 80% of the Tales volume 2, and I am now starting the Archie adventures. I bought the first 30 issues several years back and I am just now getting to them. Hoping to get the remaining 30 some issues in the TPBs from there, as long as they don't continue skipping stories like they did for volume 9.

It is nice having this thread to go back to and keep track of everything. I have a lot of fun times ahead of me!

evan2000, would you mind putting all the cover images in spoiler tags? Loading this thread makes my internet browser weep for mercy.

Thanks! It became hard for me to read and comment on posts since the page display was constantly shifting around while all the images loaded in the early posts.
