Anyone notice the Tenpenny Funnies #1-8 that sold at Heritage in May for over $1,300?

 

What are those?

 

Comics Peter Laird drew while in school. If memory serves me, one of the characters in them was Wyrm, but he was a good guy. I've never seen them,or even a scan of them so I guess they are pretty rare.

You think thats expensive? You should check out the sellers first feedback!

 

 

"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Original Art (#180097047814) US $250,099.00"

 

If I remember correctly thats when Kevin or Peter sold the original artwork for the entire TMNT 1 issue. Quite frankly I would definitely rather have that than a copy of action 1 or detective 27.

Found a cool TMNT related comic this week at WWChicago...

Independent Comic Book Sampler #1

 

I am sure you diehards already have it, but was a cool find with Flaming Carrot and TMNT pin-ups in the book!

 

sounds interesting. more info please.

 

Here are some pics of Independent Comic Sampler 2. Apparently there were at least 2 editions of issues 1 and 2: green (ltd to 50), black (limited to 4000). I don't have #1 (if anyone knows where I can get #1, let me know).

 

Also found an interesting piece of info: the TMNT ad says that the first TMNT TPB had a print run of 5000. I have been looking for that info for a while.

Awesome! :applause:

 

Thanks for the info. What year did that come out?

 

I think it's unpublished art. It was a sketch from his sketchbook that he blew up to "print" size. (thumbs u

I thought they were in line with (maybe 10% below) the last pair that sold via Heritage, so maybe they've found their price.

 

But note that last week copies were 50-60% below the copies that sold in Heritage in February.
