Eastman<\/strong> to thank for the creative drawings and storylines of the four iconic turtle characters since 1983. In the past decades, this entertaining mix of ninjutsu turtles, awesome antagonists and a unique style has taken the world by storm through comics, TV shows, blockbuster movies, lots of cross-overs and many, many more entertainment forms.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<p>Today, it is clear that Mr. Kevin Eastman has thoroughly <strong>left his mark on pop culture<\/strong> with a timeless phenomenon that still holds strong today.
