spracknetch23 Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 So long, Shellback. I'm going to miss these cool 11x17 limited prints. Just snagged a sign-off one. I know I'm late to the party.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woregul Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Has anyone ordered directly from Mirage recently? There are quite a few back issues available but due to "ramping down" they mention shipping may take 4-8 weeks which is pretty long. Just wondering if it does indeed take that long or if people have been getting them quicker? Thanks! I haven't ordered in the last year but they've had that "ramping down" message on there for years. I've never had any of my orders through them ever take longer than 4 weeks to be delivered though....and most times it was within 2 weeks or less. I have ordered a few times from Mirage. Don't expect perfect books as they sometimes ship books without bags/boards and the books just put into a box. Not always though as I have received orders that were packed nicely, so it's hit or miss. The books were still not NM, mostly VF-NM. They do tend to include some freebies like prints and/or free comics. The order never took 8 weeks for me either. However I have not ordered in probably two years. I did just find that I do not even have a complete volume 1 set as I am missing most of the issues between 32-49, and Mirage has most of those except for a couple, so I may be placing an order with them soon.

Gump24601 Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 So long, Shellback. I'm going to miss these cool 11x17 limited prints. Just snagged a sign-off one. I know I'm late to the party.. Such sad news. Won't ever get the chance to visit the states and drop by to say g'day to Steve and the gang. Nice print though, just a bit sad thinking about the closure.

TMNTkid Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 I made an order yesterday from Mirage so we shall see how long it takes! Also had a nice mail day yesterday, really stoked about the personalized copy. Kevin's fan club really went out of their way to make it happen and I am incredibly grateful: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMNTkid Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Wow where did Peter Laird do those sketches? I thought he was done signing? So jealous!!! Awesome stuff. I am debating on paying Eric Talbot for a sketch cover, really dig his TMNT stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comiconxion Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Not sure how many folks here take a look at the original art section, but I posted 25 items for sale today - one of which was a great Kevin Eastman splash page from Underwhere. Comes framed for just $500 (and signed in the art as well). Take a look! http://www.comicartfans.com/gallerypiece.asp?piece=1360041 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rich_TMNT Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 (edited) eBay seller coopjacko aka Steve Lavigne has several iron-on's in one day auctions if anyone is interested. Here is my favorite one: tmnt iron-on Fugitoid iron on does exist! First I've ever seen one. First I've seen (or even known about) Fugitoid and the Turtles logo with blood/red on it. Would love to grab some of these but alas...too pricey. EDIT: And...the 3 I had my eye on (Fugitoid, Donatello, and Michaelangelo) have now ended early with no buyer. My guess is someone contacted Steve and made a deal off-eBay. Should have done so myself....oh well Edited November 26, 2016 by rich_TMNT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miamiknight3434 Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Hi Guys I finally got around to scanning this baby. I spent alot of hours and time emailing different folks regarding this book until I finally got in touch with a family member of peter and he was kind enough to part with this copy. This book was peter lairds first comic he made while in college. Enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich_TMNT Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 That's a really cool book. Love the staples in the cover...that's a truly home-made book! One of my Gobbledygook sets has staples in the cover like this. Congrats on picking this up. Were you able to get pics of the interior pages before getting it slabbed?
