This is a reprinted collection of the first seven issues (and a Raphael one-shot) of Eastman and Laird's hit comic: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (AKA the "TMNT"). The movies and the original animated series are classics between my brother and I, and I can't wait to show him this volume! I was immediately excited when one of the guys at Paradise Comics handed me this collection the other week. I've recently reconnected with those nostalgia-inducing '80s films and the original animated series, so these original comics could not have come into my life at a better time.

Learning to Letter in 3 Easy Months

by A. Nixon

 
When I tell people that I’m learning to letter comic books, they look at me with complete incomprehension until I tell them, "I put in the speech bubbles." So then we’re at least thinking of the same thing, even if they still don't understand how it all works.
 
 
It's a very fun and interesting task, for anyone who enjoys either comics or letters. We’ve come a long way from the days when comics were lettered by hand and, as a result, it requires a much different skill set.
