Description
Kevin Eastman - Casey Jones Illustration Original Art (1985). The first published artwork of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle character Casey Jones! Created in 1984 by Turtles creators Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird, Casey was planned as the second human "family" character for the book, with Eastman refining the look of the character. He made his first story appearance in the one-shot, Raphael, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle #1 (Mirage, 1985), but before this issue was released, the inks of the artwork we are offering here was published in Comics Interview #27 (1985). Here is what Eastman said about the inclusion in the fanzine: "The piece in question here was drawn in 1985 - a year after Casey was created - this was simply one of the many convention pin-ups done (usually drawn and colored before and brought to a convention to sell) around that time, but we always kept photocopies to use for PR reasons - sent along as a press release or part of an interview - so that is most likely how it got in the Fanzine." The ink art was also included in Turtlemania Special #1 (Metropolis Pub., 1986). This cool piece of Turtles history comes with documentation about the piece and a copy of Comics Interview #27. Mixed media on 8" x 11" illustration board. Light toning and handling wear. Signed by Eastman at the bottom. In Excellent condition.More information about Kevin Eastman.
