Comics That Are Heating Up

A San Diego Comic-Con variant of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #95 spotlighting the final page on the cover has sold out before the show and IDW has stated that no copies will now be available for sale at San Diego. Copies have now sold in advance on eBay for up to $270.

Original TMNT co-creator Kevin Eastman had his own variant edition for sale, with copies now selling on eBay for up to $190 for the virgin edition and for the trade dress version. The 1:10 variant cover edition has sold for up to $100. And the standard edition has sold for up to $75.

Other appearances of Jennika in human form are also bumping in value. Her first appearance in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #51 have also been of note. A signed CGC 9.8 edition recently sold for over $300, while the 1:10 Kevin Eastman cover sold for $90, raw.

Indeed, people who had ordered copies of TMNT #51 and #95 from Kevin Eastman’s own studio over the week, as the book got very hot suddenly, were told that because the studios had had hundreds of orders of copies while they were all on break, far more than they could supply, they had to close the orders down and refund almost everyone.

A Rhode Island Comic Con variant edition of TMNT #51 sold for $170, a Fried Pie variant edition for $75, a blank edition for $40, and the standard edition for up to $37.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #52 which featured Jennika being named for the first time sells for $16 now or $18 for the variant.

The second printing of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #95 is currently on FOC this weekend.
