How many Comics were published when the Fred Wolf 5 episodes hit in 1987?

Well, let's see... the OT started airing in late 1987 - like, December, if I'm not mistaken - and the main-series Mirage comics were 13 issues in by February of 1988. All of the Turtles' micros were published by then, as well as 4 issues of Tales of the TMNT, and probably a whole mess of backup strips. Dunno if you'd count the Fugitoid micro, but not including backups or the RPG books by Palladium, we had roughly 20, give or take, depending on what you count.

I don't see what this has to do with anything, though.

He's probably wondering why the show had to make up new villains since barely any existed in Mirage at the time.

They took Shreddeer and Baxter, turned the Utroms into Krang and the Foot, and ignored the Triceratons till years later.

And Savanti/Renet were not used.

I was just curious how many existed when the cartoon hit. Thank you for info.

No prob, although the credit really should go to Mark Pellegrini, the very righteous dude behind TMNT Entity. S'what I used to check the publication dates, anyway.
