Original Art/Poster
 

I am looking for comic issue #4 art. I have the first run alrewdy but would like the image so I can frame it. Being that it was also used for the TMNT NES video game cover I have always wanted this image.

Check eBay. Posters of it are sold there occasionally, I've got one.

To be clear, are you looking for the first print cover by Laird or the 2nd print cover by Dooney? It was Dooney's rendition that was used for the NES TMNT box art.

i think Peter Laird owns the original art from both covers (1st print and Dooney variant), but i could be wrong. even if the Dooney painting was available, it is one of the most sought after images of tmnt, so it would go for a small fortune...probably $7-10k these days.

There was a consumer poster of the image released in the late 80s/early 90s. NOS posters pop up on eBay from time to time for pretty cheap. Okay quality, but I would LOVE a really awesome, full scale giclee.

I wasn't aware there were two versions of the cover! Does anyone have a comparison shot of the two different versions?

This one. I have checked around but the ones I have found are sub par. With this item I am looking to be a little picky. This is how I got into TMNT this image did it for me. Of someone would paint it that would be even better!

Well good luck with the hunt. As far as I know, the consumer poster was the only print released. I would love a nicer one myself. If you find one, be sure to post.
