TMNT Comic Strip - Any new leads? - Page 5

*miru* · 08-25-2018, 11:02 PM

Regardless of if the remaining strips are found, I liked the ones we did find, and it's a tad disconcerting that nothing about the new characters created for the strip is on Turtlepedia. Same thing with the Italian comic, but to an even greater extent due to being only partly translated.

No collected books of it have ever been published? This never ran in my local paper and never knew about it when it was a thing. I'd be super interested in seeing books published much like the old Garfield comic strip books I had. (Those rectangular ones that often came from the book order forms from school. I'm surprised there was no TMNT one offered back then.)

I had those Garfield books.

TMNT versions would have been cool.

So IDW needs to get on this ASAP!

Yeah since IDW is already doing a whole bunch of strip collected hardcover, I wonder why they still didnt make those about TMNT.

Maybe that's a good question to ask Bobby?

Yeah I saw that, a shame he couldn't poke around the offices for us. Oh well, not that he has to but it would be great if he did...

I already have. I just wasn't sure what we were still lacking, but I've saved most of the Turtles daily strips from Florida Today.

I can only find 4 or 5 from the UK Strip. That's the one missing the most I think.

Heh, I recently imported (and scanned) a ton of those strips. One of these days, I'll share them here.

I've got strips all the way up through number 180, which is part of "The No-Joke Affair" storyline. Unfortunately, I don't know how much longer that strip ran in the Daily Mirror.

Diorm · 07-19-2021, 08:31 AM

180? Thats gonna be a lot of scanning! I can understand thats a lot of work.
Yeah I can't find info on that run. I did find some sketch without the colors for some but thats it.

Eh I got bored today and felt like photoshopping so here's "Volume 1" and "Volume 2" the 1st two story arcs using a mix of my Comics Revue scans and online missing strips from the Comics Revue I don't have. I tried to make it keep the same layout as the Comics Revue with custom covers from the tmnt cover issues and make it printable.

EDIT: Oh and I named everything in a way you can put all files in a folder and they'll be in order to rezip them as a bigger file

EDIT 2: Whoops! There was a double page

Why do they credit Eastman and Laird even though it's obviously a different artist? Is this like how Garfield is always credited to to Jim Davis even though he hasn't drawn the strip since the mid 80's? I also think it's weird that many of these are just fan art made by kids.

Diorm · 04-18-2022, 09:30 AM

It's like the Mickey Mouse strip by Floyd Gottfredson that he had to sign Disney. Thats why a lot of the original artists fell into obscurity. But then again, it was in their contract.
