Looking for Early Original Comic Art

OA · 02-27-2008, 04:30 PM

I've discussed this with a few people already, but I figured I'd post here for the masses...

As the title implies, I'm on the hunt for early TMNT art (and by early, I'm looking at basically the first 11 issues + micros, though I'd count up to about issue 15 as well). Not nessarily to buy (though I'd be interested) but mainly just to find what art is currently out there. As some know, eastman and laird gave away alot of this art during their early tours to family and friends and most of it seems to have stayed with them. However, some pieces have trickled onto the market.

I know Dromers for the most part don't seem to be too much into the art as collectors, but I figured I give it a shot. This is just something that interests me, esp. since I've gotten more interested in art collecting. Most pieces seem to be tucked away, and the few that are out there command quite the premium.

More than anything, I'd like to know of any pages/covers you may seen (or own) over the years, either for sale at conventions, ebay, etc. Pictures would be great, but it be a great start for just some confirmation. ANY info would be great!! Thnx
