toitle Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Congrats to the seller! : ) What Adam said. I think I got a great deal. I've been trying for 2+ years to see Kevin in NY and it isn't happening I'll love that book even if 100 of the same show up overnight. I still drool at the colors, and Kevin and Peters art. + Shredder looks insanely wicked This has to be one of my top 10 favorite turtle cover art. It brings me back to when I was 12, this book was in the newsstand racks. Digging in my pockets for some change. What will it be today? Spiderman, Hulk, or Turtles...hmm. Getting this book is my medicine and it's keeping me from being depressed about my signing situation. Thank you PeasOfCrap -Pete sup adam thanks for the kind words on the book and congrats to the newlyweds and lastly the latest TMNT slabs you aquired. bravo! with the return of the turtles via IDW, Nick and new movie i expect an strong upward trend on pricing. thanks to the buyer.

PeasOfCrap Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Pete, First of all, thank you for the purchase. I totally dig the backstory of you diggin for the change. I know, Heavy Metal has been dodging NYCC. I have been trying to get a sketch of each turtle on these Secret Invasion covers from Kevin for awhile now. Too bad as with all the new sketch covers, I am over the SI blank. oh well. -Glenn Congrats to the seller! : ) What Adam said. I think I got a great deal.

toitle Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Thanks dudes for the nice words. I think it's an awesome book. And huge thanks Glenn! Can I ask why you decided to sell it? This thread and board is THE goldmine for turtle lovers, young and old. Now I need to go back a few pages and drool at Adam's new books... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeasOfCrap Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 pete, i have been trimming down my collection for like two years now. i had a few turtles graded at the SDCC which seems to be the place to catch Eastman. my focus for keepers are the Mirage Vol 1 books.

whetteon Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Thanks for the link. Just watched it. Bear in mind when you watch it, it's a fan film. Fan films are hit or miss. Some are bad. Really bad. Since most fan films are made by people trying to get into the movie business, their budgets are out of pocket so to speak. So they aren't high quality. Given that. I thought it was a really F'N cool fan film. (thumbs u (thumbs u It was cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archon_Turtle Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 (edited) So here is something kinda fun. I have the distinct honor of being friends with Ken Mitchroney (Original TMNTA artist). We became fast friends through the Turtles fandom, and later were co-workers at the Walt Disney company. Kenny hadn't been on the inside of SDCC for something like 20 years. He decided to attend as a fan this year, and we spent most of one of the days walking the floor together. Then an idea struck me... Ken had brought me some books as a gift, one of which happened to be a copy of TMNTA #3 (the first Turtles book he drew). So I drug him by the CGC booth and we had it SSed. Despite the grade (as I said, this wasn't a planned thing, so I didn't have a chance to hunt down a high grade), this book is really special to me as this is the one and only SSed Ken Mitchroney book (as of this post): Edited September 23, 2011 by Archon_Turtle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Ken Mitchroney still drawing any books? -Pete He still draws, but seldom books. He is an official artist for the Rat Fink estate, so he does that. Professionally these days you're more likely to see him directing animation or story boarding. Edited September 27, 2011 by Archon_Turtle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toitle Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Check out these pictures (there is a few) of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cereal. Has anyone ever seen this IRL? It looks good : ) http://www.ebay.com/itm/TEENAGE-MUTANT-NINJA-TURTLES-Cereal-Rare-Retail-Pack-/120686622284?pt=US_Comic_Books&hash=item1c197bb64c This picture is my favorite. The lady in the red track suit is so deliriously happy, that she about to run herself right into the wall: Little marshmellow weapons.. turtle bowl, I'm in love.
