The book that launched the black & white boom of the 1980’s, spawned a thousand imitators, spun off into every conceivable media, and taught millions of kids the names of four Renaissance artists is the subject of this week’s episode. Mike and Greg look at the “Return to New York” arc of the Mirage-era Turtles, but like everything else Turtles-related, the talk mutates into a green-skinned juggernaut. Find out how the IDW continuity tracks with the original Mirage series, which creator did what on any issue, what prompted the “Guest Creator” era, why some issues IDW can’t reprint, and just how much Eastman & Laird were making during their heyday. Straight from the sewers to your ears via our recording studio deep beneath the Earth’s surface, the Turtle goodness is just a click away!
