Didn´t know there was two presentations of the same book. Hmm... the shippest one?

Well, or the one that is available. Cheers.

TPB for under 100 is a good deal.

HC for under 350 is a good deal.

Check the Mirage website to see the differences.

Both are really nice books.

I have them both, but not sure I want to part with either. Good luck hunting.

Wow! I didn't know they were selling for that much. Any particular reason why? I'm half tempted to dump mine and finally pick up a few volumes of The Ultimate Collection books.

EDIT! Nevermind, haha... I thought you guys were talking about the collected books by First Comics.

The only reason they might be worth more to some than the newer books, is probably due to issue #8 with Cerebus being included.

Personally, I would try to grab the 4 First Publishing trades instead.

https://marswillsendnomore.wordpress...tion-by-first/

Which are all in color and pages are in the same large size as original printed. The only downside is they are missing Raphael #1, Michaelangelo #1, Donatello #1, and Fugitoid #1

But the price might be better on these.

TMNT Book I
First Printing: November, 1986
Reprints issues #1-3 in full color and contains 2 original short stories.
By Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird.

TMNT Book II
First Printing: June, 1987
Reprints issues #4-6 in full color.
By Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird.

TMNT Book III
First Printing: December, 1987
Reprints issues #7-9 in full color and contains an original short story.
By Kevin Eastman, Peter Laird and Dave Sim.
book 4

TMNT Book IV
First Printing: November, 1988
Reprints Leonardo #1, issues #10 and #11 in full color.
By Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird.

P.S. I have bought both and have all the individual issues too. LOL.

Is it the second printing of the TPB that has the AC Farley cover? That's the version I own...

TMNachoT · 01-16-2015, 11:10 AM

I´m looking for the first Collected Book, the one with black and white cover: http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/...20080209102855

yes, that starts the vol 2 TPB run. Think it started in 1990?

Commonly referred to as "The Phonebook" due to it being slightly oversized. Vol 2 TPB's were standard comic size, though much thicker. This thread is making me long for a WIP that Talbot has... If I could find a fresh copy of the TPB, I'd consider parting with my copy that's riddled with signatures.

Since we're on the subject of all of these collected books, which version has the highest printing/image quality of the art? The new IDW Ultimates?

Sofistocat · 01-16-2015, 11:15 PM

I don't believe there was a Second printing of any of the tpb's except the first publishing tpb's.

I think the first TMNT Collected Book One B&W cover was deemed by Mirage as the first print. The 1990 TMNT Collected Book One A.C Farley cover was deemed 2nd print by Mirage. All the other Mirage TMNT Collected Books 2-7 didn't go to other printings. The TMNT colored editions from First Publishing definitely went to multiple prints as all of mine are latter printings. Book Four might not have. I think it was late in the initial TMNT hotness in the comic market that it was over ordered by then due to the popularity of the previous 3 color books. Remember this is just before TMNT hit the masses of the cartoon and toys and before First Pub. went belly up. But I believe that came out in '88 so I'm totally wrong too. Mine is first print for the color book 4.
