TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES 1 RICHARD CORBEN COMICBOOK


TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES COMIC BOOK.
GOBBLEDYGOOK #1.

Published in 1986 by Mirage Studios.

One of the earliest and RAREST Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Comics Books. 96 pages!

For fans of RICHARD CORBEN's unique style of extreme Fantasy and Horror... he contributes art for one of the Turtles stories in this thick comic book volume!


PLEASE NOTE THAT THE ORIGINAL MIRAGE TURTLES COMICS ARE A LITTLE MORE EDGIER AND LESS KID-FRIENDLY THAN THEIR CARTOON COUNTERPARTS!

A collection of bizarre and unique short stories and gallery pages “done by our friends” is how Mirage Studios pitches this one-shot. Since these friends include Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fame, and Michael Dooney, better known for his work on the robot character Gizmo, there is some quality material here. Richard Corben is another well-known name represented in this 96-page collection. Most of the stories are just a handful of pages, and some are only a page. The gallery artwork includes both original material and sketches done for little-seen fanzines and the like.

Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird thought they were making a joke about the countless mutant and kung-fu heroes in comics. So what better than to name their improbable series, “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles”? Little did they know that their joke would soon develop a cult of devoted fans, eventually turning them into an international phenomenon.

The Turtles: Donatello, Raphael, Michelangelo, and Leonardo, along with their rat sensei Splinter, are now one of the hottest tickets in town. Stars of stage, screen, and countless comics (including this, the original), they combine humor and action in a way that appeals to young children and hip intellectuals.
