About This Book:
Published at the absolute peak of TMNT global popularity, this legendary counter-culture paperback was written by Christian author Joan Hake Robie. Rather than a comic or an official guide, it is a fascinating, time-capsule critique analyzing the "occult, violent, and anti-authority" themes the author believed the Turtles were introducing to children.
Featuring unique vintage cover art by Dave Ivey and hilarious back-cover quotes from concerned 90s nursery school teachers, this book has become an absolute holy grail for TMNT completionists, oddity collectors, and pop-culture historians alike. This is from my personal collection and is the exact one you will receive.
