You've almost completed your run of volume 1 by hunting them out in the wild! Let us know when you find 53!

Wo that's so many! What you gonna do with all those!

It doesn't get better than that! Do you know when the interior signatures were signed, were they back in 1985?

Awesome, good luck with completing your run! So close

What a cool FCBD story! Thanks for sharing

Yes

I wish I could have visited the Shellback store. I bet that was a shop of dreams!

I have that artisan book. I’m now wondering whether I should buy a compendium vol 1!

That’s so cool! I can see the head sketch on the foot. Turtle foot (not the bad foot)

That clears it up then! I’m just Honeycutt obsessed! Isn’t Fugitoid a kind of reprint of Gobbledygook parts 1&2 with a tweaked ending to tie in with the TMNT?!

I thought it has been mentioned before, but this board is 398 pages long, and yes I have read every page! As sad as it might sound on my part, I am a little concerned about the number of signed comics now, it seems rarer to find one not signed.

But it introduces Fugitoid! I hear what you're saying though. I guess I woke up this morning too obsessed about the Honeycutt character! Fugitoid is such a perfect design and the comic has some of the most amazing scenes/illustrations in it. And even the name Fugitoid is easy to "get", you don't need a dictionary to work out that it means robot on the run!

Look how great the original oversized comics look together and yes I am including Fugitoid!

I love it when @Turtle changes their Fugitoid avatar to match the seasons!

That's a perfect summary, and has now got through my thick head, thanks! I am curious though, is Fugitoid a key of sorts, or could be? I think Fugitoid should be at least a minor key, no? I think Fugitoid is overlooked because there is no mention of the Turtles on the cover. The Fugitoid issue is one of my absolute favourite comic book experiences. I will never forget that end scene where Fugitoid's back is up against the wall and then the turtles suddenly reappear from the pages of TMNT #4!

@jaybuck43 That's a collection of dreams right there! If you were to pick just one favourite from your collection what would be it?

I am curious to know what do people think about this? TMNT 1st printing signed by Frank Miller? Is it OK to have an artist who did not work on the comic sign it do you think? https://www.ebay.com/itm/325001346946?hash=item4bab96ff82:g:3qMAAOSw0Tdh5XH-&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAABAEq6O9bo8%2FJzC1KEUL1z0YIgljgezO%2BuEVMPjCOhSpWHFMn9XGxbA1PR7yYREJAFRz2mkeSYD%2FeCqoNQDNrbVA4GJenTBFLqpEXIlgvW6mOA0MRU40HYq0ap2QmbDv%2FsfPAhyw00Xs7Cqqs4ZSasebAjxZRPLkclROiksNuggjxU8lC7r92WFH37FGcocrL6C2PxGSfDTtmBN6aspFtecpgZp5pgRtMKgEL4IYHln87jg2NhtC3eKgdx41ie%2Fs6HzGiH%2FcZ972DRwb6MjmEv28fTmaAn5A3R0ph55L6gOs3qqlKv3A2gV1On6UTRdnLpy9CWjpDpNc0GCPUlTiwQGa8%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR9ii1Ir-YQ

Thanks. Can I ask what makes #2 a key, and not the other oversized? I can see why #1 is a key but #2 introduced new characters just like the other subsequent issues?

But I don't mind 7,5 usually in bronze, low 9s in copper, and moderns depending on the vook 9.6 or 9.8 - this is a good guideline to follow I think, thanks!

You make an excellent point, even lower grades can be awesome, depending on the comic and I guess that can always change in time

Thanks. My TMNT #2 (1984) is a 4.0 which I think looks OK. But I am guessing if I had it in 9.8 it would have more of a whoa factor. I've seen comics graded much lower than a 4.0 and still look great, wonderfully aged and textured. I would like to see what a #1 (1984) in 9.8 looks like but I will probably never see one to know. I bet that would be something to see

I've never seen a 9.8 in a slab, are they noticeably better than lesser grades? I'm guessing once you've had your first 9.8 it becomes addictive

Today is TMNT day so happy TMNT day guys! ”Eastman and Laird's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles volume 1 issue #1, later retroactively titled The Turtles' Origin is Told, is the first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles story ever published, by Mirage Studios on May 5, 1984.”

I really like the look of the new movie
