Gobbledygook #1
#1 Cover: Kevin Eastman & Peter Laird

Size: 7" X 8.5"

First Printing: 1984

Print Run: 150

This zine/comic book was not produced by a traditional offset printer. Kevin and Peter hand-made the book by copying their work onto legal-sized paper, folding it in half and stapling it together (thus making it easy to forge copies, so cavaet emptor when purchasing). Note that while the original Gobbledygook issues featured the first Fugitoid story (later reprinted as Fugitoid #1), they did not contain any TMNT comics (only a back cover ad for TMNT #1), thus Mirage Studios does not consider this zine to be the first appearance of the Turtles.
