My TMNT Collection Begins

Silent FOx · 09-08-2005, 09:25 PM

On Weapon-X's suggestion I have begun collecting the TMNT comics before they get too expensive. I always loved comics, but never checked out tmnt. I started at square one...

Wow, #1-11, Tales of the TMNT #1, Donatello Micro series #1, and Leonardo Micro series #1. Good lot to start with.

I'm tempted to read the first issue on the site, but am going to try and hold out until the actual issue arrives. It is supposed to ship today

That's pretty good find. Great comics for startin' to start your collection. I figure that luck struck me the day I started my collection. I asked this guy that worked at Space Cat Comics if they had any old Ninja Turtles comic books and he said they did. He showed me to the back issue area and pulled out TMNT #8 vol 1. He told that it was an Eastman and Laird orginal. Then he told me to look under Turtles. I found Turtle Soup #1 (1987). The clerk showed me the Artobiography while I payed for the comics. I didn't have enough money to pay for the Artobiography so I decided to keep it under the radar. I got the Artobiography with my birthday money I got this past April. That was a great day when I bought those comics. Ah...those fond memories.

Yea, every once in a while you can stumble on some pretty great finds...at a comic convention recently (last Feb) i went around this massive convention center for a couple of hours and could only like 2 or 3 books...then at the very end, literally on the way out, i find a booth that somehow I had missed the entire day. I saw they had some TMNT books and sure enough I found 41 comic books that I didnt have, each at $1, including some rare ones like Turtlemania. Now that was a great day for me!!

They got here today, already on #2, great stories. I can't believe I shunned the comics for so long.

OA · 09-22-2005, 04:21 PM

Nice to hear...glad you're enjoying them...and luckily, there are many more to go!

I got vol 1 #1 along with two Archie ones in the mail a couple weeks ago. I would just look for websites that sell comic books so you have other resources besides eBay. Mycomicshop is a great place for vintage and new TMNT comics. They have lotsa options. I recently saw the Return to New York comics on eBay. Silent FOx, you should consider biddin' on 'em if there still up for auction.

Yea, I have gotten quite a few comics from mycomicshop...no problems with them so far...there are quite a few options when it comes to picking up the comics (not quite so many when it comes to the toys...)
