Description

Eastman in his "Artobiography" said this about the book: "The idea of the "One Issue Micro Series" was born out of the very popular "Four Issue Mini Series" concept that was introduced in the comics industry around this time. Always inspired by the industry, it was great to put the Turtles spin on it."

Eastman & Laird did four “1 of 1” Micro Series issues which were devoted to fleshing out each Turtle. The Raphael Micro was the first of the four and was published after TMNT issues #1-3 but before issues 4. In it, we get to learn more about the hot-headed Raphael and Casey Jones (in his first appearance.) This issue was during the early pre-Turtlemania years when Eastman & Laird still did everything in the book: writing, art, toning, layouts, and lettering. The cool sepia tones created when adding the developing chemicals to the Graphix Duo-Shade boards really is something special.

Most everything you see in my galleries are keepers in my eyes, some I've owned for over a decade, so I am not a super motivated seller. That said, items with prices on them are actively for sale at prices that would make me part with them. Those with ACCEPTING OFFERS mean healthy offers may just pry some of these loose. And NFS mean not likely to sell unless a truly motivated buyer comes along. Thanks for looking! All sales are final, most early pages are about 8.5" X 12.5" as Eastman and Laird couldn't afford larger boards when they were just getting started. Covers are larger and various sizes.
