For $35, you can get Vol. 1 (issues 1-8) of the famous Mirage Studios run in hardcover. It's known for being more gritty and adult compared to the animated series.

For something more recent, try the IDW series ($13 for issues 1-4). It's a reboot set in NYC with some interesting twists on the original world.

Happy reading!

Eastman and Laird's Teenage Mutant Turtles #1 is the place to start. IDW spent the last few years releasing BEAUTIFUL hardcover absolutes of the whole first run. These are the original ninja turtle, they are the best, and the issue breakdowns and notes really put you in the shoes of independent comic creator/company. You read the first two volumes and you will feel like you can start making your own independent comic book. PHENOMENAL reads.

Volume 1

Volume 2

Volume 3

Volume 4

Volume 5

This is where the "first run" effectively ends. At this point the turtles were so popular with a cartoon show, and half a dozen different comic runs and a merchandising empire being built that the two guys who created them were too busy managing the company to still make comics themselves. This is the definitive TMNT and it is glorious. I cannot recommend it enough.

And yeah there's a ton of inspiration taken from Frank Miller Daredevil. Splinter = Stick, The Foot = The Hand, as well as the entire style and tone.

The original mirage comics are being released in these hardcover edition and the current IDW books you can pick up the paper back there are currently 8 volumes of the paper back's main story line with another 8 for side stories. Both are good I would recommend the IDW it is still ongoing so more issues are coming out.

Edit: fixed a word

I'm pretty sure the entire farm scene was based off of this

The original Mirage series which is now being sold by IDW in collected editions http://www.amazon.ca/Teenage-Mutant-Ninja-Turtles-Collection/dp/1613770073/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1398279341&sr=8-5&keywords=tmnt

I don't know if I would call it "dark", though. The art was certainly "dark" insofar as it was heavily sketched and black and white. If you're hoping for Christopher Nolan "Ninja Turtles", you'll be disappointed. It has moments where characters are severely injured and some soul searching happens and there are large parts that are told through April's journal which give it a more wistful feeling, but a lot of the stories are absolutely goofy too and eastman and laird didn't shy away from cartoony moments in the books. If you saw the first ninja turtles movie, it pretty much adapts the major story arc of the series.

EDIT: Just to be clear. I really enjoyed this series, but it is a lot more like Hellboy than Sin City.

I like the Ultimate Collection Hardcovers personally.

u/nixmix06 · 2 pointsr/TMNT

The 6 volume (so far) Ultimate Collectors compilations of the original comics are nice. They come with cool commentary from Laird and Eastman and are nicely hardcover bound.

You're looking for the Ultimate Collection series then.

u/Slyriva · 2 pointsr/TMNT

As /u/osrud mentioned they have rereleased them recently. At a recent con I saw them in a big hard cover collection, one BW The other in colour. I believe they can also be found on amazon here and also here

>The ooze that mutates the turtles was mean to be the same radioactive materical that gave Matt Murdock his abilities.

That part I do remember. I always loved it because Daredevil is my favorite superhero.

Since we got to talking about this, I've started looking online. It seems IDW has a new series out that Kevin Eastman is involved in. They're also putting out collections of the original run.

[http://www.amazon.com/Teenage-Mutant-Ninja-Turtles-Collection/dp/1613770073]

So we've got that at least.

Edit:
>I'd do the Sin City thing where some things are in black and white and some things are in color. I'd be cool to make everything black and white except for colored bandannas and blood.

I missed that part of your post initially. That I could get behind.

u/RandomStrategy · 1 pointr/ironfist

I'd start Here and go from there. Also, the funny thing is that they while they are not canonically in the Marvel Universe, the accident that sent the Ooze down to mutate Splinter and the Turtles was the same accident that created Daredevil.

u/Tremodian · 1 pointr/comicbooks

For a more lighthearted tone, Early TMNT and the first issues of The Tick when Ben Edlund still wrote it. Closer to what you mentioned, Kieron Gillen's Phonogram is good. Waid's Irredeemable is, too. I'd also strongly recommend all of Alan Moore's non-Marvel/DC stuff, especially Promethea and the first League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

u/HugoNebula · 1 pointr/comicbooks

Sounds as if you've bought this, which I don't think is what mugenhunt was recommending. I think he was referring to the current ongoing TMNT series IDW publish, which is an amalgamation of all the previous incarnations of the characters (comics, movies, and TV) into one new series. I've read it and really enjoyed it.

However, IDW also have the right to reprint the original B&W comics Eastman and Laird created in the '80s, which is what I think you've ordered. But don't panic, I've been reading TMNT since back in the day and that is the book I would have recommended to you - start right back at the beginning, and if you like it, go from there.

u/Tuff_Ghost · 1 pointr/comicbooks

Yes, IDW got the rights to the TMNT license. There is currently a new ongoing which is on issue #2 right now. Eastman is involved with it. They are collecting all the old comics into these over sized hardcover collections. Probably will be similar to the Transformers ones.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Ultimate Collection Volume 1

  • collection of Mirage Studios'' issues #1-7 along with the Raphael one-shot

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Ultimate Collection Volume 2

  • In this outing, uncover issues #8-11, along with the Michaelangelo, Leonardo, and Donatello "micro-series" one-shots

    Pretty excited for this as these have never been collected very well and if you can find some of the collected comics they are a bit pricey. Only the first two hardcovers have been announced as far as i know. If you want to check out a bit more there is some talk in the IDW TMNT forum
