Help with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles foreign editions? 1 1

[Badlands]

Hi all! Has anyone seen these before? I have scoured the internet, could not find anything. Obviously foreign editions, but curious about them...Chinese, japanese? Based on an American version?

These are Chinese and -- I think -- are from mainland China in the '80s. Unfortunately, I don't have answers to most of your questions. In particular, I have no idea if they are localizations of existing US works, or if they're entirely novel. I do know that the bottom two books pictured (with the white background) are part of a series that includes at least four more. I don't know if the top comic is part of that series or a different one, although they're similar enough to imply they're from the same publisher at the least.

I know there were also some TMNT comics released in Taiwan alongside the first TMNT film, but I'm 100% sure these aren't those. There are also Japanese manga adaptations of the Turtles, but they're also more recent (and these are not Japanese).

I asked this last week in the fb group and got some good answers.

 Awesome, thank you for the detail
