What you are bidding on is the original artwork for the phenomenally successful Eastman and Lairdâe(tm)s âeoeTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtlesâe, Book One. The package includes 40 pages of original artwork (pen and ink on duo shade board), the original pen and ink cover and the original logo design. Also included is a pristine first edition printing of the book (only 3000 were produced), the original artwork for the inside cover and a pencil layout for the first advertisement for the TMNT book - as it appeared in the Comics Buyers Guide.
