I always wondered why Archie didn't collect these myself. Wasn't this set in the TMNT Adventures universe?

No. Its tone was similar, I suppose, but it's decidedly separate. It's easy to spot similarities with plots and themes from the Archie and Mirage series, but that's hardly surprising since it had the same pool of creators.
<-- Meet Brik & Brak In the later years with solo Dan Berger doing the strip, characters like Casey Jones, Savanti Romero and Renet showed up- and a lot of Playmates toy characters make appearances. Someone with a lot of time on their hands could possibly make a believable argument for the strip sharing a universe with the TMNT magazine or cereal comics but none of it's fresh enough in my mind to attempt.

I hope they collect the strips, I own a complete week of original strips and would love to see them printed and be able to read the story from previous weeks that went with it.
The week I have is December 21-25 1992 does anyone have any scans or original paper clippings of these days?

It's no secret that IDW prints classic news strip comic collections, as they have done so for years.
There is no need to post here every time they release a new collection; you would be better off commenting on their FB posts in support of a TMNT newspaper comic collection. They know it's wanted by some, and they have been open to looking into it at some point (as confirmed by Ted Adams and I think Bobby Curnow at one point).

There's some photos of the TMNT newspaper strips in colour on an Ebay auction right now. You just have to scroll down the page about halfway. Only thing is, they are part of a lot that includes heaps of other strips like Batman, Garfield and many more...

Do have them from the first all the way to the end? I've always wondered if the problem was RAW scans and if you have them it'd be an awesome new book. I just have the Comics Revue versions without the saturday fan art and if they'd do an awesome book version. I'd buy it! |

Unfortunately I don't have have many pieces of original art left, I have 43 dailies left and 4 two tier pieces left, see attachments.
Sometime in the nineties I handed a load of originals over to a comics speciality store called Comics Showcase, to sell. I went back nearly a year later to find out they lost them. I personally believe they were stolen, there must've been 200 dailies in their possession. |

Just checked the scrapbooks, which look great, but these are not the ones that appeared in the Daily Mirror newspaper published in the UK.

Hey, thanks for sharing those with us!
A lot of the UK exclusive TMNT comics content is hard to come by and little known in the US. Things like the Fleetway TMHT comics that weren't Archie reprints or the Titan Fast Forward magazine comics. I didn't even know these UK exclusive newspaper strips existed. International contract issues will probably keep these obscure comics from ever reaching our shores, so we appreciate that you're sharing some samples with us. |

I'd buy it, I'm sure. For those who have read them and have some idea, roughly how many pages would such a collection end up being?

I have been trying to track down more of the US Strips and been trying to snag up all of the issues of Comics Revue that I can find to get them. The Turtles feature ran in #58-82, and a lot of those Comics Revue issues in that run are tough to find. Issues #67-79 are almost non-existent on the secondary market it seems. Good info here on the UK strip, thanks Griffart. I wasn't even aware there was a UK Newspaper strip, which started nearly a year before the US strip, until I saw that the editor's note in Comics Revue #58 mentioned it. Man I wish there was a good way to try to track down that year's worth of strips. I'd love to read that run. Your art is fantastic! Very sad to hear about the lost strips that were stolen from that dealer! I hope that artwork is saved in some archive somewhere so that those strips aren't lost forever! Any UK fans out there still have any of the Daily Mirror and Sunday Mirror magazines this UK Exclusive strip ran in? If so, could you share scans?
