Splinter's book collection

*Tetsu Deinonychus* · 10-20-2003, 05:31 PM

Hey, I was scurtinizing Volume #1, Issue #1 when I noticed something cool.
A fully stocked book-shelf!

You can't see it on the official site's Issue #1 scans, so here's the panel.

And here's the bookshelf...

I figured we could discuss Splinter's choices of reading material

Pretty cool. I never noticed the books had actual titles. Most comics don't bother unless it's centrical to the plot.

ahh...the fine details of our beloved comics...

...ya think any of those are actual books?

I happen to know for a fact that the "Book of Five Rings" is a real book.

Yeah that one is great. Interesting find. Interesting what Splinter reads. THE NINJA!

And he is into art history. There had to be some sort of art history book from where he named the turtles.

After seeing that, I just had to look at my copy of the first issue! Even when you're looking at the page itself, it's kinda hard to read those book titles. That's probably why I never noticed before.

Are any more titles shown in the first scene of the second issue?

**Nturtle** · 10-21-2003, 03:40 PM

Wow! Even after reading that thing a quintrillion times I never noticed that! cool!

Hey, he had to learn about how to take care of them when he was raising them...

That's really neat...

*Cascadia* · 10-21-2003, 10:29 PM

I think I saw Japanese books on his shelf.

Woah... I've never noticed those books before. I don't usually pay attention to details like that. Pretty cool find, Tetsu! I like the "Care/Turtle" book title, too. Funny stuff.
