Katie had left me almost a whole box of copies of TMNT #32 to autograph for fans who had ordered them online (thanks, everybody!), and I spent about half an hour signing the covers. I was just about to leave when I got the idea to do a sketch in the back of one of these copies, and just insert it randomly in the pile of comics, so someone -- I have no idea who -- might get a kick out of opening their mail-order copy of the book and finding this on the inside back cover...
... a freehand green Sharpie marker drawing of Leonardo. -- PL
Awesome. I'll cross my fingers :)
ReplyDeleteThat would be so sweet!
ReplyDeletehahaha, wow!this surely would be the icing on the cake!love to see you enjoy yourself like this with the comic again, peter!
ReplyDeleteI am overjoyed with the fact that I get to read another chapter of this beautiful tale...and if this wasn't enough my letter got printed!;););)
That is awesome! I will have to cross my fingers too! That is a really cool sketch of Leo!
ReplyDeleteman I wish I had gotten 3 instead of 1!
ReplyDeleteI had no idea you were signing them, man im even more excited about this than I was before. My wifes never gonna hear the end of this.
Well....looks like I might have to order some more. I would kill for a sketch of Leo. HAHAHHA
ReplyDeleteHad no idea orders had opened up! PHEW! I've been waiting on this one.
ReplyDeleteThat sketch is BOOTYFUL.
That is so cool. I got my issue #32 in the mail Saturday from Steve's shop. I couldn't be more pleased. I don't do a lot of floppy comic buying like I used to and just don't owning a lot of stuff. I generally do my reading digitally these days, but I make a huge exception for TMNT. This issue is one of my favorite things.
ReplyDeleteI may just have to get another one from you, as I was planning on making an order for a few items that are missing from my collection anyway.
I hope whoever is lucky enough to get this sketch is as thrilled as I would be flipping through and finding it there. I'd love to get to see the smile on their face when they see it.
oh man...I wish I had checked this recently. is it to late to order online?
ReplyDeleteNeil, as far as I know, we still have copies of #32, so I don't think you are too late. Yet. -- PL
DeleteI'm keeping my fingers crossed for the sketch! I hadn't even known you were continuing Volume 4 until recently (I'd last checked in when you posted the scans for #31 a few years back). Glad you're doing them, though. Any word on how soon until you release the printed #31? -Jason
ReplyDeleteI have no firm plans re: #31 as yet, but hopefully within a few months. -- PL
DeleteThis is awesome!! Placing my order for two copies ASAP!!
ReplyDeletePeter, we would like to make an interview request - what's the best place to do that? thanks!
ReplyDeleteHow is it possible for a regular joe person to meet you? seems like its really hard, I been trying for years but never seem to be able to catch you or the events have passed? do you have an event schedule that I can see? I really would like to meet you maybe have some things signed... like others tmnt has influenced my life and now that I am older I would like to meet the two who made my child hood so memorable.. thank you in advance if you read this
ReplyDeleteI don't go to many comic conventions these days, and only do the occasional store signing. Most of these have been -- at least in the last couple of years -- at Steve Lavigne's "Shellback Artworks" store in Wells, Maine. Generally, I post information about any upcoming appearances on this blog. -- PL
DeleteI just received my two copies of #32 in the mail. I did not get the sketch but I'm still very pleased. Thanks for taking the time to sign Peter. I appreciate it.
ReplyDeleteI ordered a couple of these so my friend could get a copy as well. Awesome stuff. I'm hoping one day to get them signed. I'll be patiently waiting to meet you again. I sadly missed the Wells, Maine stop this year. I did catch you at Jetpack the day before, but this issue hadn't been released yet :(
ReplyDeleteGot my copy thank you for taking the time to sign it I wish I got the copy with the copy with the sketch in the back hopefully your in the mood to do sketches when #31 comes out I would love to have some of your artwork
ReplyDeleteJust ordered...hoping for a peter laird shredder sketch ;o)
ReplyDeleteHow do i order one ??
ReplyDeleteHi Steve! You can order up to 3 copies directly from Mirage! Here is the url: http://www.miragelicensing.com/paypal/mirage04.html#vol4new
DeleteWow Thank you
DeleteOrdered today ...Yahhooo
DeleteIM so glad you published #32 thank you !! But I have a question - Mine were not autographed did i miss out on a time frame if so my loss. Also i received my copies 2 weeks ago and 2 of the issues were damaged most likely due to the USPS handlers so I'm glad you allowed us to order 3 as one copy made it. Thanks for every thing I owe you and the Mirage guys for giving me art as my outlet in life I've never stopped drawing the terrapins
