When Peter Laird and Kevin Eastman first created four teenage crime fighting turtles it was little more than a bit of fun for the aspiring illustrators.
But over the next few years, the heroes in a half shell became a cultural phenomenon that peaked in the 1990s with a series of live action movies.
In this episode of History of the 90s, host Kathy Kenzora takes you into the sewers of New York for a look back at the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Turtlemania.
