After the smash-hit success of the first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie in 1990, the sequel, Secret of the Ooze, was released in 1991. As with the first movie, an adaptation was published by Archie Comics. Now, 35 years later, this new edition allows fans of the series to revisit a long-unavailable part of TMNT history that presents the work in its original art and colors!

The Shredder returns and is seeking revenge. He’s looking for the same ooze that originally mutated the Turtles when they were young, but what are his plans if he obtains it? Trying to stop him, the Turtles find themselves in the battle of their lives when two new mutants, Tokka and Rahzar making their TMNT debut, are unleashed!
