Not by today's standards, but put it in perspective of its time. Marvel and DC were pretty darn tame in the 70s and 80s because they were still trying to be sure they kept this on the cover:
Hell, Marvel got their wrist slapped for showing the negative effects of drug use in an anti-drug story, but chose to publish without the stamp on the cover.
Hence at the time, TMNT was considered a darker, gritty comic. By today's standards, it's fairly average stuff.
