 Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles Book 1 - "THE MAGIC SWORD OF NOWHERE" (( 1990 ))

☠ ☠

–>> The ‘HERO’ Teens are stuck goin’ “NOWHERE” fast in one of the goofiest Cartoon Books to ever come out of  Her Majesty’s Royal Kingdom.

It’s no laughin’ matter.. this has been 15 hours of tedious, agonizing work ( and 15 hours i ain’t ever getting back ) , and not just cuz i was agonizing  over the sloppy plot. But this just proves who the REAL fool is this April 1st.

So i hope everyone will enjoy ( or cringe .. ) ::

A.C. Farley’s First Turtle

Craig Farley has recently been releasing a lot of art and sketches from his archives. While I have decided not to post about every singlething he shows, I will be posting about the stuff that is historically significant. I’ll let A.C. tell the story himself:

This is the very first Ninja Turtle drawing I ever did. It says 1988 on it. It was an advertisement for the Mirage artists visit to the comic shop, ‘Altered Earth Arts’, that I owned and operated at the time. That comic shop is where I first met Peter Laird. He used to come in there now and then. I didn’t know him or recognize him at all for a long time. One day he asked if I’d like them to come to my store for a signing. Of course I did. The store got mobbed. Later Pete asked if I would want to do a TMNT comic. Of course I did. I don’t have the original of this drawing. I think Pete asked for it back then and I gave it to him. I don’t have the comic store any longer, either.
