Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Ultimate Visual History relates the amazing story of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, from their humble beginnings in the pages of a cult comic book, to their enduring status as cultural icons. Beginning with the creative spark that led comic book artists Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird to envision these unlikely heroes, this lavishly illustrated book tracks the Turtles' phenomenal explosion in popularity as they became mainstays of kids' TV and the protagonists of one of 1990s' biggest box office hits. The Ultimate Visual History also looks at the periods when the Turtles briefly slipped out of fashion, showing how enthusiasmfor these evergreen warriors was kept alive by new comic books, animated shows, and, of course, some hugely imaginative merchandising.

Bringing together exceptional visuals, including exclusive comic book artwork, candid behind-the-scenes shots, rare merchandise, and other never-before-seen material, The Ultimate Visual History will uncover the previously untold story of the multimillion-dollar franchise. Featuring interviews with key players, including Eastman and Laird, and the talented teams behind the cartoons, comics, movies, and merchandise, this comprehensive look at the TMNT phenomenon leaves no shell unturned.

With Nickelodeon's hit animated show putting TMNT firmly back in the limelight and the new Michael Bay-produced movie on the horizon, the Heroes in a Half-Shell have never been more popular. The Ultimate Visual History will also take an in-depth look at these exciting new ventures for the Turtles,while putting them in the context of three decades of TMNT action.
