Mirage Studios' TMNT Volume 1 #1!

How to Identify the printing for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Volume One #1

The first three printings feature this wraparound cover and were printed oversize at 7 3/8" X 10 7/8". First printings had no notation of their print run, but the inside back cover featured a different advertisement than the one in second and third printings. Second and third printings were noted as such on the top left corner of the inside front cover. The indicia changed in third printings to list the Mirage Studios address in Sharon, CT.

See pix below. To avoid any potential confusion, please note that the green "www.ninjaturtles.com" watermark text does not appear on the comics (for obvious reasons).
