? about the comics

pizza party · 04-22-2002, 09:49 PM

hi all,
i'm new to this forum so i'm sorry for any of my newbie-ness. here's my delimma...

i've been looking for some of the old eastman and laird tmnt comics. are there any graphic novels or collected works or something?

i noticed that there are volumes 1-4 and they're all a bit different from each other. are these volumes the collected works i'm looking for or do the volume numbers denote the different series?

i maybe answering my own question here but this maybe what i'm looking for

but with little description and so many different issues that they have, i'm just "mondo" confused to which one i'm looking for.

thanks in advance for anykind of help or explanation.

Hi, and welcome. We're happy to help, it's part of why we're here.

Now that I've thought about this, it is kinda confusing. The first books on that order form are collected books, which hold several of the old "Volume 1" Mirage books. There are also collected books which were released in color, which were also called Volume 1, 2... ect.

If there's anything you'd like cleared up, don't hesitate to ask.

yes, this is what you want. if you get all 5 of those you'll have the first 23 issues and the all four of the one-issue mini series (Raphael, Donetello, etc..)

I have the collected book #1; I hope I helped.
