Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles The Movie Eastman And Laird's 1990 VF

The 1990 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie was adapted into a black-and-white comic book by Mirage Studios, the original publisher of the Turtles' comics. This version is notable for its grittier style and inclusion of scenes that were cut from the final film. 

The Mirage Studios version of the comic book adaptation was published in August 1990 and was intended for an audience familiar with the original, darker comics. 

• Format: It was a black-and-white, prestige-format graphic novel, maintaining the visual style of the main Mirage series at the time.
