Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Vol 4 #32, Could Be Printed In May

Published Mon, 24 Mar 2014 15:00:48 -0500

We know that Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird collaborated on a cover for an upcoming anniversary issue of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

But that's not enough. Laird is also looking to finish the unpublished, unreleased Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Vol 4 Issue 32. Sooner than anyone may have hoped.

Issue 31 was published online only in 2010, just after MTV bought the Turtles franchise, and can be read here. So it's been a while.

In August 2012, Jim Lawson was given the penciled pages of #32 from regular inker Eric Talbot and has started inking them himself. But Peter Laird said he would finish the toning and lettering himself, and write and drawing a new Turtles story for the comic.

And that is what he's started showing off this weekend.

Laird has been posting some pages of art, before and after getting toned and lettered.

And is promising more… and while issue #31 may not have been printed, #32 will be. A bit. He writes,

It's been a long time coming, but my plan for this thirty-second issue of TMNT Volume 4 is to try — and I emphasize the word TRY — to have it ready to purchase, in printed form, in time for my appearance at Steve Lavigne's "Shellback Artworks" store in Wells, Maine, on May 4. My intention is to offer it there exclusively, at least that day and probably for a little while afterwards. I thought it would be appropriate to do this, given that Steve Lavigne inked this issue, and did a really good job.

So… anyone going?
