Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, formerly known in some regions as Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles, and commonly abbreviated as TMNT, is an American media franchise created by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird.
The series stars the titular Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, a group of mutant turtles who live in a lair in the sewers of New York City which consists of Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo, and Raphael, all named after Italian Renaissance artists. The group is led by their sensei, Master Splinter, a mutated rat who, like them, is capable of speech.
Crossover
The series was among the various series to crossover with each other for Comic Relief in 1991, alongside Doctor Who.
This occurred in the comic book The Totally Stonking, Surprisingly Educational And Utterly Mindboggling Comic Relief Comic, which featured a segment relating to the turtles. The segment was preceded by Lenny Henry and Jonathan Ross arguing over whether they were the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles or the Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles, something further referenced in the TMNT section itself.
