An Artist’s Edition featuring the groundbreaking origins of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle series, by the legendary team of Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird. This is an art book, not a traditional collection of comic books, featuring rare and beautiful imagery, a collection for connoisseurs of the form.
This collection is a celebration of the earth-shaking art that landed the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles a place in comic book history. Included in this comprehensive Artist’s Edition are more than 300 layouts from Kevin Eastman’s earliest work from Mirage issues #1–11. See Michelangelo, Donatello, Rafael, and Leonardo as the artist originally imagined them, before moving on to the finished art. This is a rare opportunity to see the creative process and the earliest imaginings of one of the most popular franchises ever created!
An Artist’s Edition publishes scans of original art at a high resolution and prints it at the same size it was drawn. While appearing to be in black and white, these images were scanned in color, allowing the viewer the best possible look at the artist’s intentions. You are able to see all of the nuances that make original art so special and unique. The only better way to view comic art is if you were standing over the artist’s shoulder as they were laboring at their drawing table.
Kevin Eastman is an American comic book artist and writer, best known as the co-creator of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Eastman more recently has been the driving force behind the massively popular TMNT: THE LAST RONIN series and spin-offs!
