We all love the tale of these four Turtles. It is a tale of family, honor, love and loss. The Ninja Turtles have had many adventures both dark and fantastic. This tale is NOT a continuation of those. Please journey with me back in time, minutes after the Turtles defeated the Shredder in their very first story. This tale picks up there… Immediately after Eastman and Laird’s TMNT #1 1984.
