10-copy Retailer Incentive (RI) cover by Julio Das Pastoras.
With the publishing of TMNT #73, TMNT Vol. V from IDW is now the longest running TMNT comic, surpassing TMNT Adventures from Archie which had a total of 72 numbered issues from 1989-1995.
To mark this special occasion, I created a variant cover for TMNT: A Collection (this website!)…TMNT #73 Cover RE TMNT: A Collection. For the front cover, I commissioned Jim Lawson to create artwork in the style of the original Mirage black & white comics, using TMNT Vol. I #1, Page 9 as inspiration (which is one of my favorite TMNT comic book pages; the “…Into The Night” theme of Page 9 was the basis for the design of this website). Here are Jim’s PENCILS and FINAL INKS for the front cover. For the back cover, I commissioned twentystar studio (designer of this website) to create a design that incorporated the ‘look & feel’ of TMNT: A Collection website along with a blank sketch area. This is the final back cover design.

Those of you trying to track down all 18 variant covers for TMNT #50 have likely already run into a few interesting hurdles (i.e., Cover RE SDCAG Dinner or Cover RE Blindbox Comics). Some of these TMNT #50 covers have presented us TMNT collectors with situations we haven’t previously had to deal with in order to acquire a variant. But we knew from the beginning that collecting all 18 covers for TMNT #50 wasn’t going to be an easy task. And as I count up all the covers I’ve amassed for TMNT #50, there’s still one cover missing; one you’ve probably also noticed hasn’t surfaced anywhere yet…Cover RE Hero Initiative. But that will all change very soon…
The TMNT #50Cover RE Hero Initiative is going to be distributed via the Hero Initiative’s “The TMNT 100 Project.” This project will be just like previous Hero Initiative “100 Projects” (Hellboy, The Walking Dead, Uncanny X-Men, Fantastic Four, JLA). It works like this…the Hero Initiative has commissioned 100* top artists to do an original drawing on 100* blank covers. Upon completion, each artist will return their cover to the Hero Initiative and each cover will be scanned. The cover images will then be collected into softcover and (limited) hardcover bound editions and the cover images will also be presented on the Hero Initiative website (Projects tab). The original covers themselves will then be auctioned off via eBay (date TBD) at the rate of approx. 10 covers per week until they are all sold.
