ABOUT:

Born in Portland, Maine in 1962 Kevin Eastman began drawing at a
very young age, copying children’s books and reading comics.
Inspired by master storyteller Jack Kirby, and later by self publishing
creators Richard Corben, Vaughn Bode, and Dave Sim, all his early
work focused more on Science Fiction influences than traditional
Superhero style comics.
In 1982, while trying to sell some of his illustrations to local fanzines,
he met Peter Laird in Northampton, Massachusetts and the partnership
studio, Mirage Studios was formed. Less than a year later in the
middle of a late night drawing session, Eastman doodled a new
character he dubbed a “Ninja Turtle” to make Laird laugh—several
sillier sketches and a final drawing of four characters later “Eastman
and Laird’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” had officially entered the
universe!
Self published in May of 1984 the first issue sold out of its 3000
copies overnight and quickly became a fan favorite. Catching the eye
of Merchandising Agents and Hollywood Producers, Eastman and
Laird maintained full control of their creations while guiding them
through Toy Licensing, TV Series adaptation, as well as Feature Films,
and by 1989 the TMNT’s were number one in all three categories.
Thanks to “THE BEST FANS ON THE ENTIRE PLANET!” according
to Eastman, after 38 amazing years the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
STILL continue to find their way into the hearts and imaginations of
kids, large and small.
In between TMNT projects, Eastman created an artist friendly
publishing company, “Tundra Publishing” where projects like “The
Crow” “From Hell” and “American Splendor” first flourished, as well
as purchased and published the world renowned “Heavy Metal
Magazine.”

When not having way too much fun drawing the TMNT’s, he also
launched three new series in 2015/16; Fistful of Blood, Lost Angeles,
and Underwhere. In 2017/18 Kevin launched his first ever Kickstarter
that was fully funded for his new project Drawing Blood Comic and
the Radically Rearranged Ronin Ragdolls.
In 2020 Kevin launched The Last Ronin. An epic like you’ve never
seen before. It continued on to become the TMNT event of the year
decade and hit the charts as the Number 1 comic publication in the
USA. The series continues with the launch of The Lost Years in early
2023.
Kevin Eastman lives in San Diego with his wife Courtney, son Shane,
a few insane and thoroughly lovable Dachshunds, and two silly, bad
kitties.
In 2024 Kevin, Courtney and Team Eastman will be visiting several
comic conventions around the world, ensuring they are always
accessible and reaching out to fans. This is the 40th Anniversary of
TMNT and we are thrilled to Shellabrate with all the AWESOME
FANS!
