  • History

    Mirage Studios: the publisher of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

    Mirage Studios was the name Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird gave the company they formed to self-publish Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1 in May 1984 from Dover, New Hampshire — a mirage because there was no studio. The black-and-white comic's success made it the model for the 1980s independent boom, and the licensing that followed built a global franchise. Laird bought out Eastman in 2000 and sold the property to Viacom (Nickelodeon) in 2009.

    TMNT Debut: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1 (1984), First Appearance

    The TMNT debut is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1, published by Mirage Studios in May 1984, which introduced the four Turtles. Only the first printing, of about 3,000 copies, is the high-value key; later printings look similar but carry the printing in the indicia.

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1: printings explained

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1 was printed at least five times by Mirage Studios between May 1984 and 1985, and the printings look alike at a glance. Only the first printing, of about 3,000 copies, is the high-value key. Later printings state the printing in the indicia and are collectible in their own right at much lower prices. Read the indicia before you buy, and grade or authenticate a claimed first printing.
