Celebrating the persistence of Turtle PowerRaise Some Shell critically and cleverly examines the origins; evolution; and impact of the Ninja Turtles phenomenon mdash; from its beginning as a self-published black-and-white comic book in 1984; through its transformation into a worldwide transmedia phenomenon by the middle of the 1990s; and up to the sale of the property to Nickelodeon in 2009 and relaunch of the Turtles with new comics; cartoons; and a big-budget Hollywood film. With the eye of contemporary cultural studies and the voice of a true lifelong Turtles fan; Rosenbaum argues that the Turtlesrsquo; continuing success isnrsquo;t mere nostalgia; but rather the result of characters; and a franchise; that mutated in a way that allowed the to survive and thrive in a post-modern world.
