Celebrate the 35th anniversary of the original 1990 TMNT movie!
The Turtles made their big screen debut in 1990 in the live action movie Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! Adapted by co-creators Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird, this edition also contains Eastman’s rough page layouts along with placement notes for the original edition as well as the “cut scenes” that were used in the Mirage graphic novel edition.
Kevin Eastman - Born in 1962 in Portland, Maine, Kevin began drawing as soon as he was able to hold a crayon. His discovery of comic books gave meaning to his crazed doodling. When Kevin discovered and studied the work of Jack Kirby, Russ Heath, Richard Corben, Vaughn Bode and John Severin, he began to hone his craft. His first published work appeared in 1980, a year or so before he met Peter Laird. In May 1984, he and Laird published Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1, creating the hit heroes in a half-shell.
Peter Laird is an American comic book writer and artist. He is best known for co-creating the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles with writer and artist Kevin Eastman.
