Why do the TMNT wear masks?
shmokes:
That's fascinating. Thanks leapinlew. Stupid censors.

Originally they all wore the same color masks in the comic book. It was the first videogames and the cartoon series that introduced the different color masks.
Somewhere in my apartment I have a few copies of the comic book in which they first appeared in color, it was an issue of Grimjack and Eastman and Laird did the backup series (Munden's Bar) in that issue and the turtles were in it. They all had red masks. The reason I have multiple copies is because that issue is semi-valuable, and I pulled several of them from a quarter bin at a comic store many years ago.

You know, it's really too bad they had to bastardize the turtles....The original Eastman and Laird turtles kicked so much ass...Kinda like the Tick....although in a different sense. The Tick was a great book before Fox got ahold of it and turned it into a kiddy cartoon and a damned live action series...what the hell were they thinking?
Oh right....it was Fox....they weren't thinking.

Weren't the first ones in black and white indy style? I seem to remember them that way.

Yeah...the originals were B&W, but they also had some books in color back in the day before they turned into little dorky surfers.."WHOA DUDE, I totally cut that dudes head off man"
