Kevin Eastman began drawing at a very young age, copying children’s books and reading comics. Inspired by master storyteller Jack Kirby, and later by self-publishing creators Richard Corben, Vaughn Bode, and Dave Sim, all of his early work focused more on Science Fiction influences than traditional Superhero style comics. In 1982, while trying to sell some of his illustrations to local fanzines, he met Peter Laird in Northampton, Massachusetts and the partnership studio; Mirage Studios was formed. Less than a year later in the middle of a late-night drawing session, Eastman doodled a new character he dubbed a “Ninja Turtle” to make Laird laugh – several sillier sketches and a final drawing of four characters later “Eastman and Laird’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” had officially entered the universe!

And now, TMNT co-creator Kevin Eastman guides you through a dazzlingly, in-depth look at the creation of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. From the modest beginnings to the merchandising, pop-culture juggernaut, this collection of concept art, comics pages, and insider, behind-the-scenes notes has been “sold out” and hard to find for years. But now it’s back in print for a new generation of fans to enjoy.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Artobiography is a true, behind-the-scenes look at the work that went into bringing the characters to life. Written and compiled by Kevin Eastman, this jam-packed collection features over 1,000 color and black-and-white illustrations, many of which have never been seen before. Sketches, character designs, page layouts, thumbnails and final pages as well as a complete set of all of Kevin’s original paintings of the fab four!
