Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The IDW Collection #1

Raphael dominates this striking hardcover cover in extreme close-up — his battle-worn red mask spattered with blood, glowing white eyes radiating barely contained intensity against a muted, gritty backdrop. This 2021 IDW Collection volume brings together the early chapters of Kevin Eastman and Tom Waltz's celebrated run, with interior art by Eastman and Dan Duncan, colors by Ronda Pattison, and letters by Robbie Robbins. It's a handsome way to dive into — or revisit — one of the most ambitious reinventions of the Turtles in comics form.
