Despite the presence of some notable anti-TMNT books penned from Christian writers like Joan Hake Robie (who helped Colonel Sanders write his own biography, BTW), I never even heard of those kind of books until after the internet age caught on. That makes me think they never really caught on it most Christian circles. My uber-conservative Christian parents totally gave me just about every TMNT thing I can remember for birthdays, Christmases, or as a treat at the grocery store.
Archie's fan letters section seems to deal with this a lot, "Dean" was catching a lot of heat for that iteration, at least.
