Signed on the front with a wonderful TMNT headsketch remarque in black ink.

In the spring of 1984, a strange new comic book sat beside cash registers in select shops, too big to fit in the racks, and too weird to ignore. Eastman and Laird’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles presented a completely original breed of super heroes. It was too bizarre, too crazy. It broke all the rules and should never have worked. Until it sold out. Again and again and again. For thirty years. Now, peek under the shell and see how this so-called “happy accident” defied every naysayer to become one of the most popular and beloved franchises in the world.

Created by our great friends at FAUXPOP MEDIA

The print measure 8.25″ x 11.75″ and was limited to just 500 copies of which 300 were signed and numbered.  We are making a few of these available here and they are priced at $35 and just $25 for Fan Club Members.  These ship rolled and the numbered print you receive will be random out of 300 though all will be over 200

TMNT at Gravensteen by Kevin B. Eastman

I was happy to create an exclusive work of art for this show and drew my inspiration from the spectacular medieval castle in Ghent called Gravensteen which dates from 1180 and the 1889 Starry Night painting by Vincent Van Gogh who spent time in Belgium as a Protestant missionary

These toys are all signed but they DO NOT come with weapons or accessories and they may have dings and dents.  Just like yours I am sure, a ton of my toys are missing stuff.  For example, this

MASTER SLICER WITH THE TWIN KATANA SWORDS, HAS NO SWORDS – Bummer! but look at it as a challenge to remedy!!!

I often get asked about my personal TMNT toy collection. I love all these Radically, Goofy, Whacky, Rock’n Rollin’, Mutated, Kick-Action, Pizza Powered figures AND I am making some of them available for you.

**Please note that the $35 signed toys are NOT eligible for Fan Club Membership discounts but other signed TMNT toys and vignettes in this department are.

Please note that the signature from 1984 is part of the poster and that this poster is not hand signed by Kevin.

You can grab this First Turtle art on Team Eastman Gear too.  The Eastman Cap is a favorite and comes in Classic Black and very cool Dark Gray.

Yup – it was on April 16, 1984 that the printer delivered the very first copies of our Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Memorialized on my handmade publishing calendar and stacked high. Check out the business cards of Executive Art Directors/ Kevin B. Eastman and Peter A. Laird
