I thought I might be, but now I see the similarities every time I look at the comic - I can't un-see it. Maybe it's the same brick platform, or the image slant... The main difference is color scheme, the wall behind DD, and the image is 'mirrored'. It would be awesome to get the artists answer - but again, I may just be reaching.

Drake Dragoon Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 On 3/2/2022 at 8:02 AM, sorrenmj said: Awesome list thanks for sharing this No problem! I went ahead and adjusted the list to add the changes mentioned by 'Turtle', and I added a few changes I forgot about. *Some IDW issues are listed as '#1 Homage - Reprints' because those comics reprint Issue #1 inside, and not just the homage cover. All other IDW issues that do not reprint Issue #1 inside are (mostly) listed in the '#1 Homage Cover - IDW Ongoing' category. Also, the Ultimate Visual History books are not a reprint of Issue #1, but the comic tucked in the back cover is an Issue #1 reprint, but is not listed as a separate comic in this list, and therefore is in the '#1 Homage Cover - Other' category instead. The grand total Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Volume 1 Issue #1 Homage covers = 105 (+2 if you count the 2014 and 2018 Ultimate Visual History as 2 each because the Hard Cover is a homage and the comic reprint tucked in the back cover is a homage as well). If you know of any homage comics missing from this list, or you see any mistakes I made, please let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turtle Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 (edited) I'll be picking up a few books I was unaware of before this list. Others I've decided I'll pass on. We Live and Battlecats just don't cut the mustard for me. The poses are off, the number of characters is wrong, We Live doesn't have the same color scheme (Battlecats kind of gets it), neither has a blocky title, and neither has the same art style. It's tempting me to make some sort of litmus test. The cover has to check a certain number of boxes for me to count it. For me, the Ninja Scout book works. It doesn't have the same number of characters or the right poses, but it has everything else I listed. I'll have to think on this more. The more I do, I'm thinking the Radically Rearranged Ronin Ragdolls doesn't fit the bill for me. What do you think?: I really dig the list.

I keep forgetting to add this to my list Thanks! And EEK I didn't know there were that many more Do You Pooh? variants! The list grows and grows! (no that's-what-she-said jokes allowed!) Also, the Do You Pooh? Raphael variants should be added to the Micro-Series Homage list I posted above, if anyone else collects those. oakman29 and Turtle 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This bundle is from the KES website (sold out) which he also included a copy of the 35th Anniversary Director's Cut Raphael (comics and Ponies) inside. The Director's Cut variant isn't included in a sealed box. If anyone needs the Director's Cut, there is only 1 left on eBay for $65 right now (unsigned). I got mine already. sorrenmj and oakman29 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legion HQ Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 My first TMNT issue that I bought off the stands was issue 6 when I was a kid in the 80s. Issue 5 was one of the first comics overall that I ever paid a more-than-cover price 'premium' to have. I think I paid something like $10 for it at the time when I saw it displayed on the LCS wall. It became the jewel of my young collection. I was giddy. As for the first four issues, I just longed for them, could never imagine ever being able to buy first prints of any of those originals, as they were already waaay too expensive for a kid. Heck, I never even saw them anywhere, only pictures of them in the ads or magazines, but never in a store. sorrenmj 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdandns Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 (edited) Here's a "heroes in a half-shell" vintage wall poster collection. These are usually 22x34. The first two were made by Western Graphics, around 1990. The Rick Veitch cover poster is from Mirage around the same time. Numbers 4-6 are from '94 or so, I think from Image Comics, and include one by Todd McFarlane. I also have the original movie poster which is the standard 27x40.
