Over the past few weeks, I have been lucky enough to catalog and paw through literally thousands of new and old-school comics ranging from Green Lantern Corps to Archie, Punisher: War Zone to My Little Pony, Harley Quinn to The Walking Dead, and much more.<\/p>\n<p>As a child of the late 80s\/early 90s, I was thrilled to discover the very first 1984 issue of Eastman and Laird\u2019s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles within the Watkinson\u2019s new collection. It\u2019s a second printing valued at around $800-$1,000 and the inside of the book sports an autograph by co-creator Kevin Eastman and a totally bodacious original sketch of one of your favorite heroes in a half shell. Turtle power!<\/p>\n<p>Just wait until we\u2019re finished cataloging the entire collection. If you\u2019re into comics, it\u2019ll blow your mind. <a href=\"http:\/\/commons.trincoll.edu\/rring\/files\/2017\/10\/TMNT-Eastman-Autograph.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-834 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/commons.trincoll.edu\/rring\/files\/2017\/10\/TMNT-Eastman-Autograph-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"504\" height=\"378\" srcset=\"http:\/\/commons.trincoll.edu\/rring\/files\/2017\/10\/TMNT-Eastman-Autograph-1024x768.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/commons.trincoll.edu\/rring\/files\/2017\/10\/TMNT-Eastman-Autograph-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/commons.trincoll.edu\/rring\/files\/2017\/10\/TMNT-Eastman-Autograph-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 504px) 100vw, 504px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[Posted by Andy Geary, volunteer, who is Director of Special Programs at the Windsor Public Library] For those unaware, the Watkinson Library recently received an amazing collection of comic books, graphic novels, and magazines.
