As a kid, my only turtles comic was the movie adaptation (normal comic book format) I remember thinking that it was called 'ninja' instead of 'hero' and how the artwork was totally different to the cartoon. Then randomly, years later (in the year of 2003) I found the colour Mirage TMNT reprints (books 1 - 4) which collect vol1 issues 1 - 11, plus Leo book 1. This was in a charity book shop and were dirt cheap. I then went to a comic store and found vol4 issues 9 and 10. And then the new toon came out, it was a perfect time to get back into the TMNT!!! I got all the figs getting released, I was addicted! I went into which is now my local comic shop, and asked if they had any old issues of the turtles. They only had Corben's colour issue (33) and a bunch of vol4, so I picked them up. I then turned to ebay: my first ebay win being vol1 issue 28. And now i'm a total turtle-head, picking up what I can, whenever I can!!!

and

I remember that one day at my local comics shop when I asked the clerk if there was any old Ninja Turtle comics left. He directed me to the back issue area and pulled out Volume 1 #8. Then, he told me to also look under "Turtle" and I found Turtle Soup #1. The comics were (each) a little more than the cover price, but they were worth it.

A friend of mine showed me all of the Mirage comics (it was up to Vol. 1 #24 or something). I fell in love and I raced out to buy any TMNT comics I could. I came home with Graphic Novel #4 (Leo #1, Vol. 1 #10-11) and Vol. 1 #26. I fell in love. I know own them all.

My first TMNT comic was the 4th printing of the first issue...Vol. 1, Issue 1. I found it several years ago.

Mine was #41 of the original run of the comics, Turtle Dreams. Matt Howarth did everything on that issue.

My first was the fifth issue of the original Mirage TMNT series, where they fight Triceratons and soldiers in an Intergalactic Sports Bar, the cover is sweet.

OA · 03-13-2007, 03:00 PM

My first was one of the original 3,000 volume 1, #1....

Yea right, I wish...

Anyways, mines was one of the 3-issue Archie mini-series though which one im not sure as I got them all around the same time and i was pretty young...I still got em too, though they are in ROUGH condition...

diegojourdan · 03-13-2007, 05:43 PM

Mine was TMNT Adventures #42 ...needless to say i didn't understand anything story-wise, but loved the art!

CudleyCowlick · 03-19-2007, 04:32 PM

The first TMNT comic I remember having was actually an issue of Mighty Mutanimals. I don't believe the TMNT even appeared in it. I do remember a Triceraton appearance. I've collected the mini-series and a few of the issues from the regular series, but so far I have not found this one again. I didn't discover the comic shop until I was 8, but I had my cousin's collection of the Mirage series. At hat age I didn't like the B&W as much. Why wasn't Baxter a fly? Why was April with him? Because he wasn't a fly? It made no sense then, but it's all so clear to me now.

TheShowstoppa · 03-20-2007, 11:58 PM

I got TMNT Volume 1 #7 years ago. It wasn't in any good shape, but it was worth it. after that, I totally HAD to have every one of the comics. So far, I'm only missing a few from volume 2

xChri5x · 03-23-2007, 02:28 AM

Mine were probably the Archie digests which I remember loving as a kid and shortly after that I aquired the original comics in the first 4 full colour volumes. I'm not sure how many issues that makes entirely though.

Karai · 03-23-2007, 01:39 PM

Mine was the first Archie too - I didn't make a habit of collecting them and picked up maybe 3 or 4 after that the following 5 years.

blue_angel99 · 03-24-2007, 11:40 AM

The first I read was The Collected Book #1. I was taking my little bro to our local comic shop to help him buy Pokemon cards when I saw it.

Zog the Equalizer · 03-27-2007, 08:14 PM

Im 17 and have been a TMNT fan as long as i can remeber. However i didnt start reading the comics until about 3 years ago, so my first was Volume 4 #16
