TMNT: The Last Ronin #1 Signed 6x Kevin Eastman Exclusive Variant CGC 9.8 SS Yellow Label 📕 Unknown Comics

🐢 Six signatures on the most important TMNT issue in decades — and one of them belongs to the man who co-created the Turtles themselves — TMNT: The Last Ronin #1 (2020, IDW Publishing), Kevin Eastman Unknown Comics exclusive variant, signed 6x by Ben Bishop, Luis Antonio Delgado, Kevin Eastman, Esau Escorza, Isaac Escorza, and Tom Waltz, CGC 9.8 SS Yellow Label. TMNT: The Last Ronin is the prestige miniseries Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird spent decades developing — a dystopian future set thirty years after the Turtles’ era, where only one has survived, carrying the weapons of his fallen brothers and the weight of every loss, hunting Oroku Hiroto (grandson of Shredder) in a surveillance-state New York. It is the most emotionally devastating TMNT story ever told. And it begins here, in issue #1, the debut that collectors and fans immediately recognized as the ultimate TMNT collected artifact. Kevin Eastman co-created the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles with Peter Laird in 1984 in their Northampton kitchen, self-publishing the first issue as a parody of Daredevil and other comics of the era. What they built became a global franchise, a cartoon icon, a toy empire, a film series, and a multigenerational cultural touchstone. A Kevin Eastman signature on any TMNT book is a piece of the creation myth itself. Tom Waltz wrote The Last Ronin — he is the story’s steward. The Escorza Brothers (Esau and Isaac) drew the interiors. Ben Bishop and Luis Antonio Delgado contributed to the art and coloring. This is effectively the full creative team signing issue #1. Six CGC-witnessed signatures on one slab is extraordinarily rare for any major comic. 🐢 This is the definitive signed collector artifact for TMNT: The Last Ronin — the complete creative team on the book they built.

This is the TMNT: The Last Ronin #1 Signed 6x Kevin Eastman Exclusive Variant CGC 9.8 SS Yellow Label — six CGC-witnessed signatures including TMNT co-creator Kevin Eastman and writer Tom Waltz.
