Mutant Turtles

This article is for the manga. For the mutated species, see Mutant turtle.

Mutant Turtles (ミュータント・タートルズ) is a gag manga published by Dengeki Comics. Stories are loosely based on the 1987 TV series, but are much more comedic in tone than even the series they've taken after, and as such have some divergent character designs, and slapstick and pratfalls are played up. The rotation of artists on the series included Tsutomu Oyamada, Zuki Mora, Tadashi Makimura and Yoshimi Hamada. Yasuhichi Konoha adapted the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III live-action movie into a special volume, probably printed between the ninth and tenth volumes of the ongoing series.

The volumes of the series, published between January 1994 and February 1995, adapt episodes following the order of the show's airdates on Japanese television between October 6, 1993 and May 4, 1994.
