Welcome to a special Treasury Edition of TMNT #50.

Working with Kevin Eastman is an incredible experience for many reasons, among them his love of the medium, his illustration prowess, and because he saves so much original material! One day he sent over a box along with a note instructing us to figure out how to use the included materials. What we found inside was a total shockfull notes and layouts (in ballpoint pen!) to TMNT #50! Following Kevin's instructions, we found a way to use all that great material. And you're holding it in your hands. There are layout pages, art reference note pages, typed story notes, and more. Enjoy this intimate look at the creation of a landmark comic book issue within a legendary series. We know we did. Justin Eisinger January 2013
