Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Screen Prints by Tom Whalen, Rich Kelly, JC Richard & Andrew Kolb

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Screen Print by Tom Whalen

Later today, Mondo will be releasing two new posters from four different artists representing four very different eras of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. TMNT has had a huge resurgence over the past two years with a new cartoon, toy line, IDW comic book series and live action movie. While the movie left me feeling blah, the new cartoon, toys and comic book series have been fantastic! The Blot can’t even describe how happy it makes me that Nickelodeon realizes how special and beloved the Ninja Turtles are, and what an amazing job they’ve done introducing Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael and Michelangelo to a new generation.

This epic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles release is comprised of a TMNT poster for the classic 1980s animated cartoon series by Tom Whalen, a post for the 1990 live action film by Rich Kelly, a poster based on the original Eastman/Laird comics by JC Richard and the amazing new TMNT cartoon series currently airing on Nickelodeon by Andrew Kolb. What an awesome idea for a series, and boy did all four artists knock it out of the park! The Blot especially loves Whalen’s screen print as this is the version of the Turtles I grew up with.
