From Stephan (It seemed silly to have two posts about FCBD in a row): Happy Free Comic Book Day gang! Expect to see coverage from both Golden Apple in Los Angeles and Jetpack Comics in Rochester, NH! We kids and GGM get around! Am I right?!?!
So I’m flipping through my comic boxes today, looking for some extra copies of a few books that a bud is interested in. These boxes contain all sorts of comic goodies besides my duplicates: TMNT appearances in other comics, old newspaper articles, & ash can copies to name a few. Also in this box are my double cover issues.
Yes, that was plural.
Many people have seen and probably own the most famous double cover in the TMNTdom, issue #3:
Here’s my copy in case you have no idea what I’m talking about. Due to a printing error here are 2 complete covers on the book. The most I have seen on a Turtle book is 2 covers, but in other comic lines I’ve seen a book with 3,4, and even 5 covers on it.
Now what you may not know is that this book is NOT the only one to get the double cover treatment. Check out my Savage Dragon copy below:
There’s also this book, but unfortunately I forgot to snap photos before sending in for grading (if you can read the label, on the right it mentions that its a DC on the top line)
My favorite DC would have to be this baby though, #1 2nd print. Its in terrific condition and was actually my first copy of the 2nd print.
You have until tomorrow to get your orders in at your local comic shop for Tales of the TMNT #59, the long awaited follow-up to the critically acclaimed Tales of the TMNT #36 and Tales of the TMNT #56! Do it now!
It’s always cool seeing dudes you create come back, and seeing how other people handle them. Something I’m a big fan of in comics, and a big fan of doing in my own comics, is yanking the little things out of obscurity and using them again. Admittedly, this was something I had sort of planned WAAAY back when #59 was supposed to come out around #40… anyway, take a look!
Remember this dude? This is from the very first page of my first TMNT comic… (art by Paul Harmon)
Here he is again! He’s the main thrust behind the events of Tales of the TMNT #61… (art by Andres Ponce)
More goodies on the way!
