With the new cartoon coming out, this might be the worst possible time to buy a 1st printing of number one as people are going to be charging a premium. But I would keep an eye on Comiclink.com Comicconnect.com the selling boards on CGCComics.com |

This is going to be a hard book to find in low shape. I've had TMNT #1 1st print on my Mile High Comics "Want List" (and other site's want lists) for years and it's never once come up as available in any condition. TMNT #1 1st printing is a key book for comic book collectors worldwide so they tend to stay within those collections. Given the low 3,000 copy print run, just simply owning a copy (regardless of shape) is hard enough. The comic itself in the confines of those collections makes it much more valuable to the collector than the $$ they might get for it on the open market. The only exception to this would be the high quality copies which command high prices but those are out of reach for most people (me included). I'll keep an eye out for one but I really don't see them very often. |

I paid a grand for my #1 first print about seven years ago, signed, one previous owner. Ungraded, but I think it's in great condition and would be probably worth at least double that if it was graded. But I don't grade comics. That's just not my mindset heh.

Thank you for the help. I guess I just saw the price on Mile High for a Fair condition issue and thought I could get one for that fairly easy. One day I plan on buying a nice copy if I can ever get that much disposable income, but right now I wanted to get one for a price in my Technodrome Fantasy Football League.

Has anybody ever found a 2nd printing of #32 from Volume 1? I'm finding it difficult to find some 2nd printings, I'm assuming since they printed less of them. I've had the 1st printing of #4 forever but just recently was able to get the 2nd printing featuring the iconic Dooney cover featured on the NES game box art.

Also, in case you haven't yet, put it in your watch lists on Mile High and Lone Star Comics as well as eBay. It will turn up eventually. |

In regards to why those issues aren't included in the Ultimate Collections, I'm not sure I've seen or heard a definitive answer on that. However, it's likely they were excluded due to one (or a combination) of the following:

I'm afraid this has been already asked before: if Peter Laird ever managed to finish Tmnt vol. 4 and decided to publish the new stuff through Mirage Studios or by putting it online for free, would IDW have automatically the right to publish those new issues too? I have never understand this part of the deal.

The best I can say right now is that there will be at least 5 of them. We know Vol. 4 is already solicited (due to release Nov./Dec.) and it will contain TMNT Vol. I #48-49 (“Shades of Gray”) and #50-55 (start of “City at War”). Of course, they'll want to finish up the remaining E&L issues (the "City of War" story line) so that will be issues #56-62 (and that will likely be what's in the Ultimate Coll. Vol. 5). After that, if sales remain strong for them, they'll likely do others...but what issues would be collected (if anything) is anyone's guess at this point. |

Check this thread it has a collection of the first issue pose done in different ways. Closest to what you're looking for is at the end of the first page. Unfortunately I am unaware of any drawings of the Archie Future turtles doing that pose. Though it would be awesome to find one |

So, I'm sort of new to this whole Turtles comic book thing. Rather, I'm returning after a couple of decades off.
I'm really into the ultimate collections and reading the original issues in b & w. Has there been any indication of whether or not we'll see the non-collected issues released in black and white at some point? Or will the color bits and pieces in the classics volumes have to suffice? |
