** SOLD ** :news:

 

OK. This one is both special and awesome! A must for any TMNT collector!

 

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Color Special #1 - ERROR VARIANT!

Grade: NM+ minimum! Might be NM+/M

Price: $40.00

 

There have been some high dollar sales of 9.8 error variants (signed and unsigned). Both 9.6 and 9.8 are hard to find and come by.

 

Curious or haven't seen this before? Here's some information:

 

Published: November, 2009

AKA: TMNT #1 Full Color One Shot

Print run: 1,000 copies

Destroyed in recall: ?????

Estimated remaining: 100′s

 

In November of 2009, Mirage Studios was celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. That year also marked the sale of the TMNT to Nickelodeon, and the wind-down of Mirage Studios. As a ”last hurrah” of sorts, Mirage decided to do one last re-print of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1, but with a twist: full color. The original #1 issue was printed completely in black-and-white (other than red ink on the cover), and had never before been released in full color.

 

 

The recall notice issued from Diamond Comics asked retailers to Please Destroy all copies.

 

So Mirage invited long-time colorist Steve Lavigne to return and add his ”blazing hues” to this classic. This would have been collectible enough for collectors as it was. But Mirage gave us one final gift, a misprint variant to collect.

 

The initial print run of 1000 copies came back from the printer with a strange hatch pattern on some interior pages, as well as some font problems which made the inside front cover copy hard to read, prompting a swift ”please destroy” recall notice [''TMNT 1 Full Color One Shot Misprint Advisory'']. It is not known how many copies survived the recall, but estimates are in the 100′s.

 

The front cover is identical (to the normal non-error version), with the differences only in the interior pages — so at a glance, someone may not actually realize their copy is a misprint. There are two primary differences between the misprint, and the regular edition. The first of these differences is more subtle — the font is different on the interior front cover:

At left, the front interior cover of a regular/normal copy; at right, a misprint/error edition variant.

 

That font difference (above) may be too subtle to rely upon…. Luckily, the other difference is much more stark and easy to spot. Many of the interior pages of the misprint edition have a ”hatch pattern” going diagonally across the pages. The center pages, 20-21 have this problem, so a good strategy would be to ask a seller for a picture of the centerfold so that you can examine the condition of the staples — but really, you’re looking for the hatch pattern. Here’s what that will look like in the error variant:

Centerfold of error edition misprint

 

And here’s what those same pages look like in the regular / normal edition:

 

tmnt-color-special-1-page20.jpg

Regular edition centerfold pages.

 

 

The extremely low print run of 1,000 copies — a third of the print run of the original 1984 first printing of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1 — and unknown count of surviving copies, makes this misprint hard to find.

 

Here is the scan of my copy for sale to you fine folks:
