| Hi all I have issues 1-4 of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1984) Issue 1 is a third printing (says 3rd printing/February 1985) inside cover. Issue 2 is a second printing (says 2nd printing/January 1985) inside cover. However issues 3 and 4 have no details of what print issue they are. Any ideas how I could find out. |

| The first prints of #3 and #4 are the larger (taller) format. Second prints on both are regular comic size. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by no1lufcfan #3 and #4 first printings are magazine size, the same size (approx.) as the #1 and #2 third and second printings that you have. Here's what they look like:   If you have the above, they're first prints. For reference, the only Turtles printed in the magazine size format was #1 (1st, 2nd, 3rd), #2 (1st, 2nd), #3 (1st, NYC), #4 (1st only), and Raphael #1. And Fugitoid, if you want to get really precise. |

| I don't think Fugitoid appeared until TMNT #5 | ||

| Here's my Lairds photo variant, from Eastman's personal collection, as noted by CGC This book is very expensive, and there are less than 20 known with a grade of 9.4 or higher. This is one of the highest graded on census btw   |

| So here is the #4 with manufacturer's error this was hard to obtain:  LEFT: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #4, 2nd printing error. (error) RIGHT: Tales of the TMNT #1 first printing. (correct) Only 1000 of these were not destroyed. Peter Laird states he'd "be surprised if there are more than 500" Someone at Mirage Studios failed when they printed the Tales of the TMNT #1 cover on the 2nd printing of TMNT #4 regular series cover. |

| Thanks for all the replies and info folks. Here’s my 3 and 4 raw but not as in good a shape as the ones you have posted so probably not worth slabbing.   |

| Only Raphael was done in magazine size. It's also the first appearance of Casey Jones, which is why it's more valuable. The others were all done in standard comic book size...  |

| 1988 Archie Comics Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures Volume 1 Issue 1 First Printing Full Color 1st appearance of General Krang (Tetsu-Oni) 1st appearance of Bebop (Anton Zeck) 1st appearance of Rocksteady (Ivan Steranko) 1st appearance of Foot Soldiers (Group) "Heroes in a Half-Shell!" The true first appearance of Krang. In Volume 1 of Mirage Studios run, in issue #3 there is mention of an alien race called Ultrom. The alien on the cover of issue 7 first printing and second printing is of a random mentioned Ultrom alien, not Krang. Krang was introduced as part of the animated cartoon series to act as a buffer between the constant power struggle between the Turtles and Shredder.  #7 Second Printing cover zoom in of Utrom Alien. This one is becoming hard to find. Grab them if you see one! They can go for astronomical prices.  |
