Ellison wrote the forward in front of the 6th printing of TMNT #1. If you haven't read it, I highly recommend finding a copy.

His thoughts on the FW cartoon are also collected in the book "Harlon Ellison's Endlessly Watching"

He was a writer who fought tooth and nail to get paid for his work.

He wrote the famous Star Trek episode "The City on the Edge of Forever" and he hated it.

No. It is from the early 90s. It’s the one where there’s a soft and hardcover edition.

Okay, one of the TMNT Collected Book, Volume 1s listed here?

Yes! The Special Deluxe Edition. It’s a great reprint overall.

Don't think I've ever seen that book in person, so I had no idea it contained some bonus material. I love vintage forewords in comic collections.
