Inky

Inky splashed onto the page in 1992, born from the creative trio of Eric Talbot, Dean Clarrain, and Chris Allan in the pages of Archie's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures — a series beloved for pushing the TMNT universe into genuinely ambitious, socially conscious storytelling that often outpaced its cartoon counterpart. A Copper/Modern Age creation with a compact but meaningful footprint, Inky shares adventures with some of the most iconic characters in the franchise: Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello, Raphael, and April O'Neil herself. With appearances spread across TMNT Adventures, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Presents: April O'Neil, and the main Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles title, Inky is a gem for dedicated collectors who love hunting the deeper corners of the Archie era — a short-lived run that remains one of the most earnest and imaginative chapters in Turtle history.
