The U.S. printed versions of #24 and #25 have been sold out for literally years at this point. Though it does appear that Arseniy/DemonAlukard is reprinting them and distributing them all on his end from Russia, even now. Some kind of non-U.S. third printing of #24 and second printing of #25, I guess you could call it. I have nothing to do with it.

I'm kinda debating whether or not to get one. On one hand I always found it rather silly to rewrite such a classic issue simply because the original version can't be re-published due to the appearance of a character they didn't have the rights to. It'd be like if Crispin Glover demanded they cease releasing the original version of the Back to the Future trilogy and just reshoot his scenes with a different actor.

Aw man, that's an even better analogy than what I came up with, and originally I used Jan Brady before settling with George McFly.

Do you consider this to be a 2nd printing?

I was lucky enough to find the Norma book from Spain where this story was first published.
There it is, I'm a happy TMNT collector. |

I was in Barcelona, bought it on eBay and asked the seller if by any chance he was in Barcelona too.
He happened to be a professional book seller in this very city and I met him on a book market to directly buy the book from him. We had a nice chat to put the lid on it and he was rather surprised to hear about this mystery TMNT story . Is this book that rare? I cannot say I was actively looking for it before that... I hope you find it too. |

And it's fairly rare here in the States. I've found it from time to time here in the SW United States (AZ, NM, CO, UT) but it's always either too expensive or in the worst shape and STILL expensive for its condition (staples in covers, missing front and/or back covers, library copies). I found a nearly complete set of these once in really great shape but...was missing No. 2. Last edited by rich; 06-09-2017 at 08:27 AM. |

I tried a few comic book stores in Barcelona and did not find it.
I'll keep searching when I'm back in Spain. Regarding the book, only when the seller gave it to me did I realize it is that small in size (like a big digest). Arseniy did magic when he scanned these pages to print them in classic comic-book size. |
