Laird or Eastman?

So who dominated the TMNT universe more... Laird or Eastman?...

When looking through the old comic... who drew up the TMNT most often...because I know they shared the duties...but one of them had to of drawn them moreso than the other...

Also which guy do you think drew them better?

They did about as much. In the early issues you can read how they did it. First they came up with a story, Laird wrote it, Eastman did thumbnails, and then they both inked and pencilled half of it.

I'd say Eastman draws action scenes better while Laird is better at backgrounds, especially technology. And he draws the TMNT a bit rounder, too. Eastman's turtles have a little "psycho look" in my opinion. Laird's
TMNT look a bit friendlier.

well they both did half of an issue. I can't see a difrence.

I admit that in early issues (1-4) you can't really tell. Try checking around issue #10 & further.
