Popular Post nriccijr Posted April 30 Popular Post Share Posted April 30 It was a great time! My feet actually still hurt from Saturday. I have 15 books going to CGC...but I don't like posting pics before they come back. I was lucky enough to get PL so I was very happy about that. Overall an awesome show and a once in a lifetime event. SpideyFein, ADAMANTIUM, TMNTDude and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before I do, I figured I'd share my big treasure from the show. I created a show-specific jam and got 14 artists in attendance to fill it out. No-prize to anyone who can name all the artists: O we kinda did meet up lol. I saw Dooney doing your Fugitoid. I had the giant Blue Wagon of Turtles stuff.

One was a Jetpack version that had an all black and white cover and the other one looked identical to the original cover. The Jetpack variant (?) was an extremely limited print run. I spoke to Rich and he is an awesome guy. Seeing the negatives and the reprints is astounding. He even gave my daughter a issue 1 cover proof.

Eastman has the 3 linked above. They are all using the “10 seconds later” cover he originally used for an SDCC exclusive years ago. Rich has one that uses the same cover as the original from 1984. This is as close to a 1:1 reprint of the first issue as you’re going to get. Print run was 10,000 if I remember correctly. Jetpack had a variant that was like Rich’s but it used a black and white cover instead of a red one and it has the Jetpack logo on the back. Print run is 2,500 on this.

Thanks I don't know the answer, but @rich_TMNT is a member here. I think he plans on making these available where he sets up the negatives for display. Only he can answer if they'll be available elsewhere. GDN 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Turtle Posted May 1 Popular Post Share Posted May 1 The event was indeed a small room. It was basically 3 short rows and a little alcove for Kevin Eastman's table. I slightly cut off the Steve Lavigne table to the left of the first picture, but outside of that, this was the whole show floor: It was wall-to-wall TMNT everything there. Such a fun show! I grabbed a few pictures of artists working on my jam as well: This last image is Chris Allan. If anyone remembers, I met him at the TMNT double feature at the Drive-In last summer. He is local to me and was set up as a guest artist for the event. I was able to connect him and Ralph and was very happy to learn they worked something out. I guess it has been a long time since he was set up at a traditional con and he seemed to stay busy all weekend. Finally, I was able to add a couple more signatures to my TMNT Compendium: What an awesome show!
