Anyone have any idea what this is worth? Or how I might find out?

It's the same as this one. http://www.ninjaturtles.com/comics/mirage/one/pg01.htm

There's been quite a number of those on eBay in the last few months, though few and far between lately. I saw the prices for it range between $20-$40.

Just to clarify, it is a collected book of the first 11 issues plus the 4 one shots. It's not the first issue by itself.

20-40? I'm sure I've seen it for much more...

Of course, there's always the chance of it selling at a higher price. I was just giving a general idea.

Michaelangelo|DAH · 02-01-2004, 03:36 PM

is that the cover for the collected book vol.1

with issues 1-11 ??

I think there is a hardcover version of that book, which originally sold for $100 through Mirage, and a softcover version which is the one shown in that picture. I think there were only a limited number of the hardcover one produced, and they are numbered.
It was reprinted once in softcover with a cover painting by A.C. Farley..That's the version I have, and it is a very well read copy...

I've looked everywhere on the internet that has anything to do with TMNT and never see any mention of this B&W book in any listing of TMNT books. What gives?

I don't see anywhere that it says first, second or third copy either? In the front it has letters from Kevin and Peter dated 1988 and in the back it has a small bio of them. So I'm thinking this is a reprint of the first book.

Still, it seems it would be listed somewhere on someones site that have a "complete" list of the books.

*MrPliggins* · 02-02-2004, 03:43 AM

It is a collection of the first eleven issues plus the micro-series, so I guess in a way it is a reprint. It did come out in 1988 and if i remember right, the hardcover version is also signed with sketch by eastman and laird.
I think there is an ad for this book in TMNT volume 1 #13.

your book is probably a reprint

toolmantb · 02-02-2004, 09:29 AM

Well I put it up for sale on ebay. Thanks for your help and happy hunting.

*Bowser_Koopa* · 02-02-2004, 01:08 PM

why you say it could be a reprint?

toolmantb · 02-02-2004, 03:38 PM

Looks like my book only had one printing so I don't think it's a "reprint". It is the first "book" 1988, a complation of issues #1-11 plus the 4 micro series

, but not the first "comic book" (1984)

.

I still think it's cool

but I would rather someone have it that can add it to their collection and really appreciate it.

*MrPliggins* · 02-02-2004, 06:16 PM

There is one reprint, the one with the cover by A.C. Farley..it shows the turtles, casey and april in the sewer looking up at the light from the manhole cover.
The one you have and the hardcover version are both first printings of the collected book because they were printed at the same time.

here is a pic of the softcover version

here is a pic of the hardcover version

http://www.ninjaturtles.com/comics/books/volone1990.htm

I was able to get the Soft Cover on eBay for $25. It was very minty. I love this book, the cover is very nice. Still on the lookout for the Hard Cover.
