The Missing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Last Ronin Retailer Variant

Mammoth Comics is a small comic book store in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Who appear to have a little monster of a problem themselves. Artist Jon Mastajwood created  retailer exclusive cover for the launch of Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin #1, completed two weeks before the cover deadline.

However, when the store owners emailed their representative at IDW, Rosalind Morehead, to make sure everything was proceeding as expected, only to receive an automatic response that she was no longer at IDW. To contact one Blake Kobashigawa instead, which the store did. Only for Blake to inform the shop owner they had no Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles approval submission from Morehead since she had left the company and that they would not be able to accept his order.

Even though he had the e-mails, with finished Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles artwork, and details confirming the exchange. When the store owner complained, IDW informed Mammoth that they "don't know what we can do for you."

Here's the rather spectacular approved cover by Jon Mastajwood that will no longer be used for a Mammoth Comics retail exclusive cover for TMNT: The Last Ronin. Might someone be able to find it a home? IDW did not provide comment when approached.
