ABOUT

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have been a pop-culture phenomenon since their comics debut in 1984! This collection spans the decades with stories from their earliest days and their latest adventures with spotlights on Raphael, Donatello, Leonardo, and Michelangelo!
Take a dip into the past, as co-creators Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird lay the foundation for decades of storytelling with the original four Micro-Series issues focusing on each Turtle. Published in 1985 and 1986, each story takes an in-depth look into the characters of Raph, Donny, Leo, and Mikey, adding to the legend that would become a worldwide sensation.

The most recent incarnation of the Turtles’ adventures, headed by co-creator Kevin Eastman and writer Tom Waltz, paid homage to the original four Micro-Series issues early in its run, later adding four more Macro-Series issues by a host of creative talent including Brian Lynch, Franco Urru, Ben Bishop, Valerio Schiti, Paul Allor, Brahm Revel, Sophie Campbell, Andy Kuhn, Ian Flynn, and Michael Dialynas.

Collects the four Micro-Series issues published by Mirage Comics and the four Raphael, Donatello, Leonardo, and Michelangelo Micro-Series and Macro-Series issues published by IDW.

STANDARD, PRIMARY, DM AND VARIANT COVERS

Standard and Primary covers are widely available through general retailers. They often have higher print runs and can be cheaper, especially during sales.

In contrast, Direct Market (DM) and variant covers are primarily sold in comic shops. DM editions tend to have more limited availability and may be more valuable to collectors.

The main differences lie in artwork style, availability, price, and collector appeal. Ultimately, the choice between standard and variant covers depends on personal preference, budget, and individual collecting goals.
