Here's a rundown of the various TMNT manga series as well as a history of the line in Japan (though you can just skip to the manga section if that's all you want to know about). You can read the entire Mutant Turtles Gaiden series here. It was a single volume, 4 chapter series of original content and its amusing, if anything. Art's pretty good and the story is a nice hybrid of light-hearted action and goofiness. There's also a 3 volume Super Mutant Turtles series that's made up of original content. I intend to translate it, some day, but I'm waiting until I can get my hands on the first volume (Alex Winters owns volumes 2 and 3, and he provides me with the scans I need for translation, but neither of us can find Volume 1). Anyway, hope that helps. Alex has lots of scans of the episode adaptation series if you'd like to see what that art looked like (but it isn't anything to write home about). |

You may want to read some of that article I linked you to since it gives a complete rundown of what was produced. But to simplify it for you: 15 volumes adapted episodes of the cartoon (two episodes per volume, so 30 episodes total). 1 volume adapted TMNT III. 1 volume of Mutant Turtles Gaiden. 3 volumes of Super Mutant Turtles. That's about the size of it. There were also fumeti style "comics" (photographs of toys with captions and panels) and "story page" collections (two page color spreads with narrative text, but not really comics). But so far as manga goes, that's all there is. There were some comedy strips that were done in a newspaper comic style, but I can't find anymore info on where they were published or if they were ever collected, so I can't say much in their regards (Ninjaturtles.com has some scans of them in their manga section but no furhter info). |

Some members of this site own copies and I know that's where Alex got a good chunk of his collection from, so you could ask around the buy/sell forum here and see if anybody is trying to unload some copies. I, personally, don't own any. I had to get scans from Alex so I could translate and image edit them for my site. |

Sorry, bud, but I don't own any doubles and don't have any intentions to sell at this time. I bought two from Roseangelo and all the rest off Steve Murphy, but I'm not sure if either of them have any extra copies left.

When I did my translation of Mutant Turtles Gaiden, I made sure to keep in contact with Mirage via Dan Berger, letting them know what I was doing and updating them when I completed new chapters. Berger liked my work and encouraged me to continue with the series, showing it to the other guys at the Mirage office. So while my translations aren't officially sanctioned or anything, I at least got "permission" to do them, and by "permission" I mean "this is cool so we aren't going to have our lawyers send you a cease and desist notice". Now that Viacom owns the Turtles, that "permission" likely doesn't still stand, but so long as their lawyers don't find out about it, I should be fine. |

15 volumes adapted episodes of the cartoon (two episodes per volume, so 30 episodes total). 1 volume adapted TMNT III.
