About this Collection

This collection kicks off the Archie Comics run of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures, adapting the classic 1987 animated series into a comic format. It brings back Oroku Saki as the Shredder, who teams up with Krang, Bebop, Rocksteady, and Baxter Stockman to menace the Turtles and their allies April O'Neil and Splinter. The volume captures the lighthearted, action-packed tone of the show while expanding the TMNT universe for a new generation of readers.

"Return of the Shredder [Part I]" kicks off a high-stakes showdown in the 1989 Archie TMNT Adventures series, with Shredder returning from Dimension X via Krang’s scheming—only to be abandoned with no allies or gear. Left to his own devices, Shredder swiftly commandeers a local dojo, turning its students into decoys dressed as the Turtles to frame them and tarnish their reputation. Written by Christy Marx and David Wise, and brought to life with bold, dynamic art by Dave Garcia—both in the interior and on the cover—this issue sets a clever, tension-filled stage for the Turtles’ latest challenge.

In the second chapter of the Shredder's return, the villain unleashes a twisted new scheme: breaking out Baxter Stockman to build a monstrous rat catcher, all under Krang’s impatient demand. With Splinter captured and the Turtles’ identities at risk, they must battle their own doppelgängers and face Shredder and Stockman in a desperate bid to free their master. Meanwhile, April quietly reports the crooks in turtle suits have been taken down—though the real danger may have only just begun.
