Fan Club Mini Comic

*Powder* · 04-14-2018, 11:58 PM

In the late 80's, there was a TMNT fan club! It didn't really amount to much, but joining it got you this mini comic, a membership card, honorary certificate, sticker, & multi-print bandana, all adorned with the Mirage turtles (even though it was advertised through Playmates & featured the Fred Wolf logo). At any rate, I scanned my copy of the comic, touched it up quite a bit for quality's sake, & am now presenting it to you guys! Hope you're all enjoying my scans of obscure material you can be sure will never be reprinted.

No clue who the artist was, though I'd guess it was the same one that did the early toy packaging art. All the other fan-club stuff had Eastman/Laird art on it.

Cover's under spoiler tags for being huge. It's really cool so be sure to check it out, too.

Man, this is so awesome. Wonder what it would've felt like getting it exclusively back then, as well all of the other goodies in the tmnt fan club.

Many Thanks for sharing, Powder

Very cool Powder. Do we know who did the art for this?

Always appreciated this little comic, and was happy to find a nice copy of it for $2 a few years back at my local comic shop.

Your digital cleanup looks terrific, Powder.

Just wanted to give this a little bump since so few people seemed to see it.

I think this sort of comic would look great in color, since there aren't any duo-tones present and it seems loosely based on the cartoon/toyline universe. Anybody wanna volunteer to tackle this project?
