Kevin Eastman/Peter Laird cover/art; Origin & 1st app of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Splinter, & Shredder; Wraparound cover
Anybody who grew up in the 1980s understands the significance of this comic book to collectors and investors. This rare example of a Copper Age Classic is also the Action #1, the Showcase #4, and Amazing Fantasy #15 of the 80s.
Self-published by scrappy creators Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird, this book contains the origin stories of the Ninja Turtles and the Splinter, plus the introduction of Shredder and the Foot. The moody cover (an homage to Frank Miller's Ronin mini-series) features deep blacks and bloody reds as our heroes stand ready against the forces of evil. Eastman and Laird's characters were soon to be toned down and made more child-friendly. In these early books, however, they pulled no punches on the way to becoming top pop-culture icons. The time is nigh to grab your own copy before the price soars once again.
Arguably the most desirable comic of the last 40 years, this first appearance of the TMNT, Splinter, and Shredder scored a 9.6 from CGC, with off-white to white pages! The red, black, and white Kevin Eastman cover appears so rich here, with a flawless iconic image of the turtles themselves, a haunting cityscape, and a beautifully bloody logo. The black cover reveals no imperfections, making this an especially gorgeous book. A 9.4 copy of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles recently sold for $46,500, and this copy is even better! This comic constantly climbs in value, only becoming harder to find and more important every year, as new Turtles movies and cartoons continue being made. This is the kind of book many collectors dream about, and you have a chance of owning it today!
Overstreet Guide 2021 NM- (9.2) value = $16,500.
