Turtle Power

In the spring of 1984, a strange new comic book sat beside cash registers in select shops, too big to fit in the racks, and too weird to ignore. Eastman and Laird's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles presented a completely original breed of super hero. Four of them, to be exact - Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo and Raphael. It was too bizarre, too crazy. It broke all the rules and should never have worked. Until it sold out. Again and again and again. For thirty years.

Now, for the first time, you can peek under the shell and see how this so-called "happy accident" defied every naysayer (and there were lots of those) to become one of the most popular and beloved comic, toy, cartoon, live show and movie franchises in the world.
