ABOUT

It's good to be green! The original TMNT series from Mirage Studios, collected in order and in color for the first time!
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are a mainstay of pop culture, and it all began with these comics by co-creators Peter Laird and Kevin Eastman. Go back to the very beginning with the Turtles' first encounter with the Foot Clan and their mysterious leader, the Shredder. With over 300 pages of mutated-martial arts action, this volume is perfect for fans to relive the glorious days of the Turtles' origins as well as an excellent place for new readers to see where the TMNT phenomenon began. Collected are the first seven issues of the series, plus the Raphael and Michelangelo Micro-Series one-shots, all in brilliant color.

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.
