TMNT#30... in the house!

Just wanted to let you all know that we received our copies of TMNT #30 from the printer today. I plan to start doing some Turtle head sketches in them tonight. And Eric Talbot surprised me today (before we went with Jim Lawson on a short-but-sweet motorcycle ride) by offering to do head sketches in some of them. So that might mean anyone who'd prefer a Talbot sketch to a Laird sketch could probably get one by requesting it when ordering. Cool, huh? -- PL

  1. That is very cool news Peter. I love both your art style and Eric's. However I can't choose just one. I would love to get both if possible.

    Also I would like to say that I am super excited about the new movie. I really hope that it will be more for the fans that grew up with the comic. I would love to see it follow the first few issues and even get into maybe turtles in space. I would also love to see the Mousers come alive on screen. Do you think there would be any chance of getting Kevin Clash back as the voice of Splinter?

    I can't wait to read issue 30.

  2. Great news! I (and I'm sure many others as well) have been looking forward to this news for a long time. Out of curiosity, have you decided exactly how many more issues there will be to volume 4?

    I'm with Michelangelo-Sama. Part of me really wants a copy with your head sketch and also a copy with Eric's.

  5. Cool, I got one you did last time... perhaps something to think about it would be cool to have Eric's so I have one more of the Mirage crew :)

    I actually talk about this in the letters column of this issue, but the short answer is that I still am not sure. -- PL

  10. According to Ninjaturtles.com, looks like we're getting even more choice than Eric and Peter...

    We're also going to do something a bit different this time - anyone that would like to have a copy with a sketch by Jim Lawson, Eric Talbot or Dan Berger (rather than Peter) can request this via Paypal in the comments section of the ordering page. Jim, Eric and Dan will sign up to 50 copies each (if that many are requested).Cool.

  11. Wow! I see it says on the official site that you can now request Jim Lawson, Eric Talbot or Dan Berger also for a sketch! How cool!

    I must say that I do believe that, having owning some original Lawson art and already having a head sketch by yourself from the last ish, I am very much tied between a Talbot or Berger head sketch.. I don't know what to request! AAARGH!

    I think its awesome that you guys would go out your way to do this. Ya all rock! Big Thankee-sais all round..

  12. I also noticed that on the official site... I wouldn't mind a Jim Lawson head sketch but I really like Dans style perhaps if I can get one by him I will :)

    Dave, I will only be doing Turtle head sketches (with the possible exception of maybe a random Fugitoid or Shredder) or Casey... or an Utrom... or...). I can't speak for the other guys. It would probably be a good idea to assume that, even if you make a special request for another character, you may in fact end up with a Turtle. -- PL

    I'm not sure if the guys will do sketches in any future issues of Volume 4, but it would be nice. I'm just very pleased they agreed to do them in this issue. -- PL
