Who remembers these TMNT books???

[Chef Boyarquoa]

these are some kids picture books I found that have adaptations from either the TMNT OT or the comics.


This book is telling a slighty more kid-friendly and less detailed Fight For The Turnstone story. I was surprised that it even kept Raphael all black, which confused me as a kid when i read this because i had not yet read the comics and it was not explained throughout the book. It probably also confused most kids who had only watched the OT. I have one good quality copy of this book.


This is an exact adaptation of that horrid OT episode with the "Crooked TMNT". I have one good quality copy of this one.


This book is an adaptation of Mirage's Donatello Micro-Series. It is all about Kirby and how he finds the portal. I have one pretty bad quality copy of this book, and two better ones.


This is the back cover of The Fight For The Turnstone book, which shows all the other picture book adaptations of TMNT stories. These are from 1990 and 1991. I only have three of the stories, but i am trying to get the rest .

Does anyone else have or has anyone else heard of these?

Well... But I don't know where it is now... Maybe I should pay a visit to my grandma's attic.

I had the first two you posted, and the one called Fishy Adventure which was about they origin of Ray Fillet. And yeah like you said, that Turnstone one confused the hell out of me when I was kid... "Why is Raph totally black?" Good stuff.

[Weapon X]

I had all three of those, plus "Fishy Adventure" with Leo on the cover and "Incredible Shrinking turtles" with Mike on the cover.

Yeah, they had one picture per page with about four or five sentences under it.

Yeah, or sometimes a two page spread.

I have multiples of a few of them (worked at a thrift shop briefly and doubled my TMNT collection easily)

Ahh, good memories. Haven't pulled them out in awhile!

[Aztec General]

I remember that I had a book called "Six Guns and Shuriken". It was about the TMNT in the old west.

Yeah, I also had that one. Wonder where it's gone...

[Jester]

I had lots of TMNT Books....i had most of the lagre paper back....in fact all 3 of the ones posted above...plus Fishy Adventure, Shrinking Turtles, and Escape from Dimension X. I also had the adaptation of the Blind folded Leo scene from the first movie (andf maybe First Battle..*shrugs*), which seems to be a deleted scene....sorta. I also had Six Guns and Shuriken, Red Herrings, and some other TMNT chapter book....I even still have the TMNT trivia book...with TMNT TV, movie 1 and 2, Archie, and Playmates trivia.
