SPC 104 | Splinter's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Child Army

In this week's SPC, Marc guides Remso through the origin story and debut of America's favorite pizza-eating, sewer-dwelling mutated amphibians, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird. They discuss how the two creators risked the last of their savings on top of a small loan to publish the first issue, which eventually turned into the multi-million dollar line of toys, movies, animated series, and yes, more comics we know and love today. How does the original issue stand the test of time? What Marvel hero's origin do they intersect with? And will Splinter ever be held to justice for raising an army of child soldiers?
