Las Tortugas Ninja (partially found Mexican Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comics; 1990-1993)
This article has been tagged as Needing work due to its lack of clarity and proper info about the lost issues.
Mexican publisher Division was given the rights to publish the Archie Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures comics alongside fresh material, much like how Fleetway in the UK was given such rights. Whereas Fleetway produced gag strips more in line with the TV series than the progressively darker main comic storyline, Division went in a different direction and started their own, new plots with recurring new characters created by Mexican artists. Even the reprinted stories were often redrawn. The series lasted 56 issues, plus 6 trade collections of stories.
