Splinter

A wise and enigmatic presence in the world of the Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles, this Splinter made his mark in 1991 through the creative vision of Beth Mitchroney and Ken Mitchroney, stepping onto the Copper/Modern Age stage in the pages of Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles #3/1991. Published through Atlantic Förlags AB, his run through the mid-nineties places him in the thick of that era's turtle-mania, sharing the page with Donatello, Michelangelo, Leonardo, Raphael, and the villainous Shredder himself. With only six catalog appearances, he's a genuinely rare find — the kind of discovery that makes a collector's pulse quicken.
