| - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures was a comic book series published by Archie Comics from August 1988 to October 1995. It is mainly based on the stories of the mutant turtles Donatello, Leonardo, Michaelangelo, Raphael, and their rat sensei Splinter. It is set in a separate reality from other TMNT stories. Initially, the comic book followed the 1987 TV series' story and were drawn by Michael Dooney. However, after issue #5, control was given to Ryan Brown and Stephen Murphy, a couple of Mirage Studios employees. In their hands they immediately took the comics in a different direction, incorporating social, environmentalist, and animal rights themes. It also introduced several new characters of various races and backgrounds, including humans, mutants, aliens, and other anthropomorphic creatures. Additionally, the series added new layers to established players such as April O'Neil, who began training with a katana, and the Shredder, who gradually revealed a sense of honor. The stories were often seen as "deeper" and more "serious" than the cartoon. As the new tales and characters were explored the cartoon villains Krang, Bebop, and Rocksteady were slowly phased out making later appearances during stories involving alien worlds, while The Shredder remained as a recurring adversary. Ken Mitchroney did most of the pencils until issue #28, when Chris Allan took over. The series was extremely popular (said to be more so then the Mirage line). It ended with a 3-part saga Year of the Turtle, which featured one last battle with the Shredder who had gained great power from a mystical talisman. The series lasted for 72 issues; in addition, there were numerous annuals, specials and mini series. No trade paperbacks of the runs have been collected and published, other than the versions by Random House and Tundra Publishing, but published by Archie, that collected various issues and stories, and were sold with a tape dramatizing the action. Archie did reprint the comics in a digest format series titled Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Classics Digest which they published quarterly from 1993-1994. These collected TMNTA issues #5-#25. In celebration of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' 25th Anniversary, Archie Comics announced that they would release a 104-page, full color trade paperback collection of the first three issues of Archie Comics' Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comic, which was the adaptation of the original animated show's mini-series "Heroes in a Half Shell" (though the trade paperback's cover features new art based on the newer TV series). The paperback was released in May 2009. Mirage Studios also printed a trade for the 25th anniversary, titled Future Tense reprinting Mighty Mutanimals #7 and "TMNT Adventures" #42-44 and #62-66 in July 2009. The trade was still in black and white at 228 pages. With the success of the 2003 TV series, an unfinished story arc was to be released as a mini-series in the summer of 2009. The story arc is called The Forever War. Future Tense was released to coincide with the release. However, due to buy-out of Nickelodeon of Mirage, the story is canceled and will not be published.
