8.75x12" newsprint copy of Comics Buyer's Guide #795, published by Krause Publications Feb. 10, 1989. Instead of Comics Buyer's Guide's typical comic industry periodical content, this issue was a special Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles issue, featuring in-depth interviews w/Turtles creators Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird, Mirage Studios artists and staff, behind-the-scenes photos from Mirage Studios headquarters, identification and pricing guides as well as speculation of the future of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and ads for various TMNT products, including the animated series and its accompanying Playmates action figures. Issue was published in two sections, w/front cover featuring an Eastman and Laird cover showing their original, gritty Turtles in front of a billboard featuring the lovable cartoon Turtles. This cover has been signed in silver felt tip pen by total of six, including Eastman and Laird, who incorrectly added "1988" date below his signature before correcting it and adding Turtle head sketch w/"Oops!" word balloon. Others who have signed include - Eric Talbot, Steve Lavigne, Jim Lawson and Steve Murphy (aka Dean Clarrain). Original mailing label attached to this cover. Newsprint has some scattered aging and edge wear. One page has 3" tear another has 2" tear. Fine to VF overall. Lawrence Klein Collection.
