What was the title of the 1988 comic series based on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles?

The story behind the answer

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures was the title of Archie Comics' 1988 comic series based on the Turtles.

Archie Comics initially produced a three-issue miniseries adapting elements of the 1987 animated television series. Its success led to an ongoing series titled Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures. The comic eventually developed its own stories and introduced original characters, including the warrior fox Ninjara.

The Archie series is distinct from the darker black-and-white Mirage comic and from the later IDW continuity. It also used different terminology in some markets. The animated series was known as Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles in the United Kingdom because of censorship concerns surrounding the word “ninja,” but that was a television title change rather than the formal title of the Archie comic. This distinction causes frequent confusion in franchise timelines.
