Description: Make sure to BOOKMARK OUR EBAY STORE and check out OUR NEWLY LISTED ITEMS This is an original printed production art cover for Fugitoid #1, published by Mirage in 1985. This is a full-color production art cover, including both the front and back covers, and with printing on both sides of the covers, the same way it looks in the published comic. The piece is large, and measures approximately 11 1/4" by 18", and is on a high-quality paper. Please note that it does have a decent amount of wear to it, and doesn't show fully in the scan, which includes crease marks that go from top to bottom in the middle area of the piece, and general handling wear around the edges including crease lines and scuffing. The piece has edgewear, with several edgewear tears in the border areas and crease lines there also, with some light water staining also visible on the inside back side cover near the bottom. The piece is sold as-is. This issue is one of the earliest efforts by TMNT creators Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird, which though released later on, was started before TMNT #1 was released, and then tied in to TMNT continuity around TMNT #5. It is signed by both Eastman and Laird. It is hand-signed in silver ink near the lower right side corner by Peter Laird, and Kevin Eastman's signature in pen is above it in the middle blue area. Production pieces from early Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles-related issues are incredibly sought-after, and almost never appear on the open market. Don't miss out on a rare chance to get a very cool and rare comic collectible that you will hardly ever get a chance to see, from a key early first issue that has been hand-signed by both creators of the TMNT! Please note that this is an authentic piece from the 1980's, not something made for a later reprint or collection book. We have been told there are reprint production art pieces being listed by other sellers that make them seem to be old and from original printings, even though they are not (for example, older production art did not have the words on a separate sheet from the images. Those kinds of things were only done much more recently, using computer technology). We advise buyers to be careful, as there are disreputable sellers tricking many people into believing they are purchasing items that are older and more valuable than what they actually are. Some sellers simply do not state their items are from reprints, while others make very long listings and put a tiny mention about reprints buried deep in the listing, and/or use a hard-to-read font color (like yellow) to prevent buyers from seeing this information. Unfortunately, everything else in the listing (the title, pictures of the cover of the comic from the 1st printing, etc.) makes you think you are buying something from an original printing, and ebay has allowed this to continue despite many buyers saying that they have been taken for a ride and ripped off. This item is a genuine piece from the '80's, not something made for a reprint. We clearly differentiate items from original printings and items from reprints, so you can buy with confidence.
