Yes, almost all black and white. The cover art was usually in color though, and some of these images are from colorized reprints, but the original comic was in black and white. I prefer pure greyscale in my Mirage TMNT comics, but I take what I can get.
 * That first colorized image (with Raphael and Klunk) was originally black and white.
 * That violent scene with all the black bars (which I digitally added because otherwise it would be too graphic to allow on Turtlepedia) was from Kevin Eastman's comic miniseries Bodycount, which though published by Image Comics (who created the associated Image TMNT), is Mirage canon because Kevin wrote it for the Mirage TMNT continuity. (It also shows what Kevin's style is like when he doesn't have Peter Laird or Tom Waltz or Viacom's edicts to counterbalance him&mdash;he does comics far more adult than most of Mirage TMNT ever is, like Heavy Metal.)
 * That third color image (with Splinter and the human) is a colorized version of a comic that was originally black and white.
 * That fourth color image is a comic cover art, and most of Mirage TMNT's cover art was still in color, even if the pages within were black and white. Remember, black and white has always been a stylistic choice.
