There was also some bonus background text in the back which had some errors. Theres an errata on Laird's blog here.

To get a copy check the usual online places, though last time I looked it was going for silly money. It might have come down now that IDW are putting out collections.

Many thanks ole chap!

Is there a website or section of the forum for that matter that gives a synopsis of each individual comic book? Or at least the issues from the main volumes.

I don't think Dan has the Archie stuff on there because of the Nick buyout, but all the Mirage stuff is there. The Archie stuff could exist from NinjaTurtles.com if you look through the Way Back Machine.

Awesome! Thanks! I ordered books from the sight before but never bothered to check for the synopses.

This should do it to add to Miss Rose's suggestion. Hope you find what your looking for.

Now for my question...
I know why Rob Paulsen and James Avery were unable to do some voicework for the '87 series,but a few season three has another voice actor filling in for Barry Gordon as Donatello and Bebop. Was it ever said why Barry missed some recordings that year? Was it because he became the SAG President at that time? Thanks.

The only issues in the listing that even had 2nd printings were #7 and #32-- and the covers shown are for the 1st printings. ...that's a whole lot of #10 and #11.

That #7 definitely is based on the cover. Some other issues like #10 are hard to tell since they used the same cover for reprints and won't know unless you check inside. Most of the remaining issues are first prints because I don't believe they reprinted them... Best bet is just to ask the seller, especially since you can't even see the covers for all of them in the picture.

Mirage never published additional printings of #10 AFAIK...I believe the Volume One Reprints section on this handy checklist is accurate: http://forums.thetechnodrome.com/showthread.php?t=32248

Archie did reprint TMNT Adventures #1-11 with the same covers, though.

[Redeemer]

So if I look on the inside of a comic book it will tell what print set that it

Hm, not entirely sure as I don't have my issue in front of me. What led me to believe that at least #10 was reprinted was that I thought I noticed the "turtle tracks" section was different than another issue I saw. Also, in ebay auctions, I see "First Printing" #10 for sale implying a second printing, but I guess that's not necessarily so. Since I can't be 100% certain, I would say that wilddiverse is probably right in that there was only one printing of #10, though it's so good, it's shocking they didn't sell out!

...probably? With the exceptions of Mirage vol.1's #1 & #2's 1st/2nd/3rd prints all having the same cover image, all other reprints are indicated by a new cover.

It bugs me every time I see an eBay auction where someone lists an issue as a "first printing" when it's the only printing. I can be slightly more forgiving since it's actually Mirage selling that copy of #10, but it's still misleading and leads to exactly this kind of confusion.

What is a collection of issues 1-62 worth (for the first few comics i know that the lower the the print the more it will drive up the price, but let's just say the first few are 3rd printing)

[Powder]

I paid between 2 to 5 bucks per issue for the whole volume. So rounding up a little, maybe about $150ish? Rough guess.

really? That seems extremely cheap. I see a set on ebay for the 62 issues plus an extra 12 miscellaneous tmnt comics for 250 with a 2 days left

[TheCanadiandrome]

I dunno if this is asked already been asked, but I want to know, in the Archie Adventures Series, how many issues are there?

Here's a list of everything that qualifies for TMNT Adventures canon.

The main ongoing, though, ran for 72 issues.

You can also find art that sold for ten bucks listed for $200. Doesn't mean it's worth the price.

[wilddiverse]

I've seen TMNT comic auctions that ended with a super-high bid reappear a week and a half later (thanks eBay Watch List!). Whether the cause was a seller illegally inflating bids to jack the price up or just someone caught in a feverish bidding war irresponsibly raising their bid higher than they could afford-- appearances can be deceiving and using eBay auctions as a price guide can be dangerous and disappointing for sellers and buyers alike.
