jaybuck43 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Yup It was a book put out in the 80s that compiled short bios of Indi Artists with a few pages of sample artwork. The print run was limited to 4,000. Super cool that Eastman signed it but its very little to do with Turtles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich_TMNT Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Anybody know that this is? I've never seen one. Looks cool though. Independent Comic These were just small digest-sized books that showcased different independent comic artist's work. You can read the inside front and back covers of these on my collection website for more information about these. Also, there were 50 sets of green Limited Edition copies that are very rare and extremely hard to find. You can see those (along with the B&W versions) using this link.

BarryAllen Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Anybody see what's wrong with this one? First Print Cheap!! "CGC can be a hassle." Says the seller hiding something... Best guess it would top out at a 5; maybe could press higher. I would really worry about color touch... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has the Gobbledygook Ad. 1st print. :shrug: However, can't blame anyone for not bidding when the book is over-priced and the pictures are terrible.

SpideyFein Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 I think it looks pretty clean. Tough buying raw on the bay though. On a bright note, I got my Usagi signed by Stan finally. It looks that much sweeter with the sig. Thanks Mike!! The first time he didn't sign it and I then had to get it regraded. It's all good though. It's safe and sound- Ahhhh.

I agree, but what is the slight black strip on inside front cover. Could that possibly be bleed through from color touch. I know the paper is thicker, so I'm curious. It may just be a shadow.

I think it's ink transfer from page one. I do not think it's color touch because the front cover (behind the suspected ink transfer) is red and white art. Btw, I finally saw the TMNT movie and loved it. I went in with no expectations and the mindset this was made for the next generation of fans. I look forward to the next 30 years of the green guys.
