I have always been a huge fan of the original black & white drawings of Kevin Eastman & Peter Laird of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I was dismayed when I went by my local comic shop (Excalibur Comics on 20th ave in BK, whatup!!!) and saw that Malibu Comics has released a FULL COLOR reprint version of the 1st issue. It takes away from the original B&W styling that I know lots of true Turtle fans hold very dear. So when I came across the story about the 1st ever sketch of the Turtles by their creators being sold at auction for $71,000. Check out the sketch and explanation of how it all happened way back in 1983 after the jump...
