Additional CGC notation regarding "'Kevin Eastman' And 'Peter Laird' Written On Interior Cover In Pen." Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird story, cover and art. White pages.

"This early Mirage Studios title was an anthology series that saw the introduction of various characters that would later appear within the pages of Eastman and Laird's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comic series. Fugitoid? Triceratons? They (and others) all got their start here." recounts Hake's Senior Consignment Manager Mike Bollinger. "While this comic is historic in its own right, when you add the advertisement for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1 on the back cover, this is an instant winner and a must-have for any Turtles collector."

Historic and rare Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comic, which saw an incredibly small print run of just 150 issues. At time of cataloging, only 28 examples in total have been graded by CGC according to current CGC Population Report, w/only two Signature Series examples in a CGC 9.4 grade (none higher). Lawrence Klein Collection.
