RE: Copper Age Classic Comic Book - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles from 1986
I own this one too! These were the books that first got me into drawing and art. When this book came out, absolutely everyone I knew at the comic shop was talking about it. The first few runs of the first few books all sold out in record time, and I remember visiting my aunt in Chicago with my parents, and they took me the hugest comic shop I had ever been to.
Sure enough, the latest Ninja Turtles was on the shelf. Which is where I got my copy and I still remember taking it back to my Aunt's place back in Chicago. My parents and my Aunt and Uncle all kinda looked at it like, wow, this sure is a wild, creative, and fun story you are reading there.
I dont think anyone ever knew how big it would be.
Had the opposite situation, I was the nerd who was not into Turtles at first so when the friends all of sudden heavy into it I had to go hard and be like "fuck Turtles!" but after like the second or third wave of toys and Mikey had a surfboard accessory, I was in lol. Wish I was in it at the start of the original print of comics.
