DESCRIPTION
white pages; signed and sketched by Eastman and Laird on back cover, signed and sketched by Laird on inside cover
VERY RARE!! Only 50 printed!! Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles back cover adGobbledygook was an early 1984 Mirage Studios production, a homemade black and white comic co-created by Kevin Eastman & Peter Laird, featuring the 1st appearance of Fugitoid, the fugitive android, a classic Eastman/Laird character that would go on to have his own series and star in other Mirage and TMNT media. Even more significantly, Gobbledygook #1 & 2 featured a back cover ad for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1 before the comic’s release, making this the first true appearance of the team. As a small-press book with a print run of only 50 copies, this is an extremely rare and historic publication. Without Gobbledygook, there is no Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1, and none of the countless books inspired by the success of the Turtles. As a homemade creation, all copies must be personally verified by Kevin Eastman, and the production process involving individual Xeroxing and stapling makes high-grade copies incredibly rare.We realize many of you would like to bid on this auction lot, so for this listing, ComicConnect.com offers a 6 month, interest free, time payment plan with a 20% non-refundable deposit.
