Leonardo Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle

Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird, the co-creators of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, launched this solo series spotlighting Leonardo in 1986 under their original Mirage Studios banner. A single, self-contained issue, it focuses on the disciplined leader of the Turtles in a tense, character-driven story that captures the gritty, black-and-white aesthetic of the early Mirage era. While brief, this issue stands as an essential piece of TMNT lore, offering a deeper look at Leonardo's personality and code of honor outside the team dynamic.
