Obscure Mirage & Related Books

*VaughnMichael* · 04-05-2007, 01:40 AM

This really needed a thread of it's own Roseangelo & I had been talking about tough to find Mirage and related books by it's artists.
And other comics the TMNT make appearances in that maybe people didn't know about because Mirage hasn't listed them on the site.
I think this should get a sticky and I'll add comics as we learn about them.
I also just wanted to take the time to Thank Roseangelo without your help I would never have looked on ebay for those Next comics!
BTW as always the best place to find this comics is www.ebay.com

I'm actually in the process of compiling this info right now, and I know TMNTGal has a pretty comprehensive list, too.

What I have so far can be seen here and I just added a bunch of stuff tonight. There's still a whole lot more to go, though.

Thanks for sharing! I've never seen Laird's "Barbaric Fantasy" before. Me Likee!

*VaughnMichael* · 04-09-2007, 10:29 PM

hmmm Roseangelo you know I've been searching for some information on Bioneers I went to A.C. Farleys website. http://www.alteredearth.com/farley
And found this:
My own 'intellectual property', Recombatants™ is a 3 issue miniseries,
In stores 2005. I am working on proof of concept 3D for a game
as well as the comics. I won't go on too much about it right here...
if you want to explore the world of the Team Dragonfighters, there's
more 3D, art and info.

He also goes on to show covers to the 2 other issues I wonder if this title ever came out as the "Recombatants"?
Man I love his art so much! I really wish he'd get back to doing art again.

*Roseangelo* · 04-09-2007, 10:45 PM

Yeah, I could seriously go for more art from him.

I can't find that Recombatants was ever published.

*Spitfire* · 04-09-2007, 10:45 PM

I got the Prime Slime issues today with the lot I bought.

*cowabunga14* · 04-10-2007, 02:17 PM

yep they sure did.
Oh & Rosanglo I e-mailed Dan he just got back to me so we officialy no know! Sad But True.
> Can you tell me if Commandosaurs was ever released?

The mini-comics were the only thing that was published.

*Spitfire* · 04-10-2007, 03:05 PM

I got that too, and some weird magazine they appeared in called heroes.

Magazine called heroes is it the one with the movie turtles on the cover?

CudleyCowlick · 04-11-2007, 04:40 PM

I just discovered, and purchased, a 1989 benefit 1-shot from Rip-Off Press called FIRE SALE, it's got 35 artists incl. Kevin Eastman, Mark Bode, Richard Corben, and other TMNTers.

Thanks for the tip/info! I didn't know about this one, myself, so I just ordered one.

Time Mistress · 04-11-2007, 10:25 PM

Don't forget Space Usagi and Planet Racers.

I believe there were some crossovers with Flaming Carrot. Issues #24-26 or 25-27. Something like that.

There was also a a crossover with the Last of the Viking Heroes Summer Special (#2?).

Oh, and one of the TMNT/Usagi Yojimbo crossovers is Usagi #10.

Yikes, that sucks. We'll see how this goes, I guess. I have ordered from them before and I don't recall ever having trouble.

Since Space Usagi was mentioned, I broke open the comic boxes and added a few more things to my personal "archive."

Space Usagi falls under Non-TMNT Mirage Comics.

There were also additions to:
TMNT Movie Adaptations
TMNT Crossovers & Appearances
TMNT Mini-Comics & Misc.
Mirage Artists' Other Projects

I also have the Flaming Carrot and Viking Heroes books that were mentioned. Maybe I'll crack that box open tomorrow.

*DrSpengler* · 04-12-2007, 03:14 PM

This list was pretty helpful. One of my local shops just set up a $2 back issue bin. Today I went through it and got

Gizmo Vol. 1 #1 (Chance Enterprises)

Gizmo Vol. 2 #1-6 (Mirage)

Gizmo and the Fugitoid #1-2 (Mirage)

Pretty decent haul, and thanks to this list, I know I've got the whole series (not including the odd short Gizmo story printed throughout various Mirage anthology books here and there, though I believe I have most of those, too).
