I think he may have cut up a few copies of the first issue for advertising purposes or something (sorry, my memory is also a bit fuzzy on that). But Kevin and I never did anything like that. -- PL</b>PLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14615918982616632405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-225302720400600293.post-65597416150152174552013-07-11T08:02:13.095-07:002013-07-11T08:02:13.095-07:00Sadly, I do not remember the first fan letter or h...<b>Sadly, I do not remember the first fan letter or how it made me feel, but I would strongly suspect that it felt pretty darn good! -- PL</b>PLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14615918982616632405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-225302720400600293.post-4451196642251544312013-07-11T08:01:15.735-07:002013-07-11T08:01:15.735-07:00Melanie, I feel that way when I look at some early...<b>Melanie, I feel that way when I look at some early drawings of the Turtles that I did.

Maybe you helped bring that number a little closer to 3000? Either way, feel free to keep using the lower number, my first print of TMNT #1 was the most I've ever spent on a comic, the purchase seems a hair more justified at 3000! ;-)<br />Adam Richeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11897594543447112497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-225302720400600293.post-70455175829178589512013-07-10T15:03:20.950-07:002013-07-10T15:03:20.950-07:00I have a question, and apologies if you've alr...I have a question, and apologies if you've already answered it - do you remember getting your first fan letter?
