Archon_Turtle Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 By the way, those Eastman sketches on the blanks are outstanding! Congrats! Thank you sir! And beautiful books to you as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toitle Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 You guys don't know how amazing those signatures look to me. I am insanely envious, especially since I had wished that Kevin had shown up at NYCC the past two years. I have ONLY been collecting the toitulz to have it signed one day by either Kevin or Peter. I want them to sign MY BOOK - versus buying someone else's book already signed. It's sort of like a female magically growing huge breasts versus going to get a boob job. It would have made me feel good about myself to have the "real" thing. So - I am a little sore that I can't enjoy the way you guys are - but I hope I don't come across as a Debbie Downer. You guys are on an amazing roll - don't stop! Keep them coming because I am rooting for you! -Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archon_Turtle Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Just got this in the mail. : ) That's a great early piece. I know I've seen it trade hands before though. I want to say it was originally in the Steve Murphy collection? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samhain88-migration Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Yep, Murph told me it was originally a gift from Kevin all those years ago. I got it off Jimmyjams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samhain88-migration Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Most likely. As for now, it's in my Itoya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMNT Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 This is sort of neat. Don't think I've seen one of these graded...how does it fit in a slab with how thick it is? Would LOVE to own the cover art to that book... Graphic Novel And Adam, that SS is stunning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what the cut off is for the books thickness, but I the slab itself is 5/8 inch thick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I win it, I'll post more detailed pics. (thumbs u Good luck! The only thing I hope they got right is that its a 1st printing. All printings, up to at least the 5th or so, have listed that November 1986 printing, along with the additional printings of course. Most comics just have "second printing" or whatever; these guys list ever printing and I could see someone maybe missing it. And 1st printings of this book are NOT very common.

Turtle Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 I don't think I've shown this off yet, but I was able to pick this up a few months back from board member Timely. This is the original art to TMNT #54. It's one of my favorite covers from the City at War storyline (along with #50 and #58). The colors are so vivid on it...A.C. Farley did a fantastic job on this from beginning to end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
