Kevin Eastman - Born in 1962 in Portland, Maine, Kevin began drawing as soon as he was able to hold a crayon. His discovery of comic books gave meaning to his crazed doodling. When Kevin discovered and studied the work of Jack Kirby, Russ Heath, Richard Corben, Vaughn Bode and John Severin, he began to hone his craft. His first published work appeared in 1980, a year or so before he met Peter Laird. In May 1984, he and Laird published Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1, creating the hit heroes in a half-shell. Eastman co-writes Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for IDW and can sometimes be found at the San Diego Comic Art Gallery.

Review:

"To messrs Eastman, Waltz, Curnow, Santolouco, Smith and anyone else who has worked on this series over the last four-plus years, I tip my hat to you. You guys and gals have put together something truly special, and I hope you realise how much us Turtle fanboys and girls out here appreciate it. I think I speak for everyone when I say that I absolutely cannot wait to read the next fifty issues. Turtle power! " - Craig Neilson-Adams, Big Comic Page (on TMNT #50).

"It's amazing how serious this franchise is being treated by IDW; it shows how passionate these creatives are about the characters and the world." - Erik Gonzalez, All-Comic (on TMNT #50)

"While this issue is essentially made up of an extended family/war council meeting, it’s the smaller character-based moments that really help to sell the story." - Craig Neilson-Adams, Big Comic Page (on TMNT #61)
