This all-new anthology takes a look all the way back to the start, celebrating that initial spark of creativity from Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird, and then works its way through the next four decades, highlighting fan-favorite touchstones from comic books and beyond. Expanded from the regular edition, this deluxe edition includes new stories, pin-ups, and special reprint material. Kevin Eastman leads a host of incredible talent who are contributing new stories and pinups from a gaggle of legendary TMNT contributors, including Jim Lawson, Tristan Jones and Paul Harmon, Ronda Pattison and Pablo Tunica, Tom Waltz and Michael Dialynas, Ciro Nieli, Lloyd Goldfine with Khary Randolph and Emilio Lopez, Andy Suriano, Chris Allan and many more, all hearkening back to the era of TMNT they are best known for.

From the bestselling mind of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles co-creator Kevin Eastman comes the totally fictional true story of comics creator Shane "Books" Bookman, a cartoonist on the skids. Once upon a time, he and his brother birthed a worldwide phenomenon, self-publishing a crazy indie comic about crime-fighting cat-girls. Now... Books is hitting his forties (hard), the money all gone, artistic inspiration tapped out, beset on all sides... and trying to recover from his catastrophic encounter with the hit-and-run driver called "early success." Drawing Blood follows a cartoonist whose real life has become more absurd and action-packed than any comic book story he could dream up! This trade collects all four issues of the first volume of Drawing Blood, and as an added bonus, the origin issue of Books' creation, the Radically Rearranged Ronin Ragdolls! Straight from 1992, it's the first adventure of America's favorite ferocious felines! 122 pages of
