Published Mon, 16 May 2022 10:02:11 -0500

TMNT fans have sent the debut of the Heroes in a Half-Shell skyrocketing in the last couple of years to the point that it is unobtainable for most of us. So, we have moved on to getting other key issues featuring the brothers, including when the title switched over to Image Comics from Mirage. Erik Larson was on art duties then, and history has been kind to this run, with many fans coming to appreciate it over the years. Taking bids at Heritage Auctions today is a CGC 9.8 of said TMNT comic, and as of right now, it is currently sitting at $66, not bad for a #1 at all. Check it out below.
