Now you can relive the very first Archie Turtles comic, a 3-issue adaptation of the original television mini-series, 'Heroes in a Half Shell!' This thrilling story has it all: the origins of the Turtles, Splinter, Bebop and Rocksteady; the first Archie appearances of April O'Neil, Shredder and Krang; plus Krang's robot army, the Neutrinos from Dimension X, and the Technodrome! Thrill as the reptilian quartet uses all their 'turtle power' to stop Shredder from getting a body for Krang! Watch Shredder's attempts to entice the Turtles to join the Foot Clan fail because 'Turtles fight with honor!' Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello and Michelangelo are anxious to reacquaint themselves with you, so what are you waiting for?"
