This is enormously RARE

Marked 3 of 3 – this was one of a set destined to be sold but were broken up.

Gobbledygook was an early 1984 Mirage Studios production, a homemade black and white comic co-created by Kevin Eastman & Peter Laird, featuring the 1st appearance of Fugitoid, the fugitive android, a classic Eastman/Laird character that would go on to have his own series and star in other Mirage and TMNT media. Even more significantly, Gobbledygook #1 & 2 featured a back cover ad for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1 before the comic’s release, making this the first true appearance of the team. As a small-press book with a print run of only 50 copies, this is an extremely rare and historic publication. As a homemade creation, all copies must be personally verified by Kevin Eastman, and the production process involving individual Xeroxing and stapling makes high-grade copies incredibly rare.
