These are the types of interviews I want to see more people do. Very mellow, right in the artist's environment and with a host that's, at the very least, informed on the topic. Hope to see more. Great job on the music too.
I remember I was like 10, back in 1992, when I first picked up colour print of the original TMNT mirage run, and it just blew me away. I was a fan of the animated show since I was 6, but that as the first time I had seen the Mirage turtles. They ere unlike anything else I was collecting at the time. Before that I had Batman comics and Daredevil comics, but there was a certain rawness to the Mirage turtles that made them endearing. ... and I'm a fan till this day. For me it's Miller, Kirby and Eastman/ Laird whose work I love more and more each time I look at it.
This was truly a great interview and really informative on the history of the franchise that is now TMNT. You guys should do more of these, what I consider nostalgic pop culture hits.
I’m so happy I had a pleasure to meet Kevin Eastman he was one of the nicest artists I’ve ever met. He has one of the biggest heart ever. I mean that. He looked out for me and for a lot of other people that went to see him.
I remember drawing TMNT when I was a kid. I even had a few Turtles growing up. Long to Create from Imagination and can see TMNT in my mind. That might help to Create something new.
I just wanted to say tmnt changed my life not only as a kids I have always loved them and I always will thank you Kevin for some the best memories I have as a child and a grown up
And to think that I had all of the original comics! At least through the early teen numbers. Anyone remember the one offs, not only of Raphael, but all four had one offs. AND there were comics of each turtle demonstrating how to do martial arts! Oh if I could go back in time and save those comics!!!!
I have too meet Kevin, him and Peter made my childhood. TMNT was and is still a huge part of my life. He surely belongs up there next to Jack Kirby....
Nice interview. I’m a big fan of the turtles since back in the 80’s and a few years ago I went out and got issues #1-6 of the 1984 TMNT all first prints. Raphael #1 first Casey Jones and TMNT adventures #1 first bebop and rocksteady. Hopefully 1 day I’ll get them all signed by Kevin Eastman .
You can manifest ideas….my father imparted this early on. Don’t tell me you’re not the coolest thing ever to be created. People have dreams but why when if you just realize what you are. You can achieve what you think. What you can actually do with a brain is amazeballs.
Was a huge fan growing up, I just don't know how they haven't made billiions given that they own the characters. Royalties from the toys alone should have cleared them $50m in the 90s. I wonder whether it was the lack of a savvy agent/manager/lawyer because if there is one thing I am sure about, there are at least 10 people/companies that made more money out of TNMT than the people that own their rights.
Thanks Eastman and Laird for the ninja-fu theater. Only comic I have ever enjoyed. The best part was the shoes. I, and many others, wanted to see it go in a more adult direction--much like the issues in GN #4. I was inspired by this to created an even better (that more ridiculous) group of karate mutants. As a teenager, I did not have a story in mind as I do now. I am not an artist. I suppose I could write it as a short story.

"are you okay with the Turtles being your legacy?"
What sort of question is that ffs??
Thank you for making my childhood livable.
I’m so happy I had a pleasure to meet Kevin Eastman he was one of the nicest artists I’ve ever met. He has one of the biggest heart ever. I mean that. He looked out for me and for a lot of other people that went to see him.
Kevin I was born in 1985 you hands down CREATED MY CHILDHOOD and from the bottom of my HEART thank you very much
That venues de milo painting is awesome
Thanks for the awesome childhood in the 90’s dude. Your cartoons rocked.
“Oh yeah, hell yeah”🐢 ❤️

MORE MORE MORE I LOVE THISSSSS
I’m such a fan of the tmnt I need to meet him in person😅
That's one guy I'd LOVE to interview!
My hero...
Great Interview & History Lesson. Please make more content like this and keep up the good Job.
This guy must be a billionaire by now with all the TMNT merchandising thats been sold for 20 years now!
like 35 + years you mean
He sold his chunk to Peter at some point, I remember in one of the documentaries they mention it.
And to think that I had all of the original comics! At least through the early teen numbers.
Anyone remember the one offs, not only of Raphael, but all four had one offs. AND there were comics of each turtle demonstrating how to do martial arts!
Oh if I could go back in time and save those comics!!!!
I’m an amateur comic book artist and I hope to make the next big thing like Kevin did.
TMNT and Heavy Metal comics rule! Babes, sci fi, martial arts, and pizza!
I have too meet Kevin, him and Peter made my childhood. TMNT was and is still a huge part of my life. He surely belongs up there next to Jack Kirby....
Very well done - thank U.

Nice interview, but most of this info was in the documentary Turtle Power. Would have liked more unique questions.
8:30 Hey, it's SpongeBob and Patrick.

AMAZING INTERVIEW!!!!!
Came to this vid after watching mutant mayhem. Such a good movie!
He is my idol and one my favorite artist.
Thanks for sharing!

That poster showing Steve Ditko's art with Stan Lee's name is fucked up
Does anyone know where I can buy the giant raphael figure at 3:39? thanks!
I LOVE TURTLESSSSS
Dope
Can you ask Kevin Eastman this question when you return back from comic con why does the turtles appear in disney mgm studios in the 1990?
What are u talking about?
Is that "Boogie" by Bugseed playing at the end?

So coool
Rocksteady & Beebop gave this a thumbs down.
POV: basically my bedroom
WHY IS HE CALLED CO CREATOR HE CAME UP WITH THE ORIGINAL BASIC CONCEPT
Why did all the turtles wear red?.
Spider-Man in original comic all 4 did wear red band before
@@brianmartinez5453 It must have been very difficult to tell them apart back in those days.
Cuz it's more badass
Shouldn't have never sold the right away
What are you saying?
I wonder how much he sold them for
@@robd1329 it a documentary where they talk about everything from beginning to end. It was a great docu if you a hardcore TMNT fan
Creepy ass music
What ever happened to the girl ninja turtle???
So jealous
Hundreds x turtles fuuuvk ya green turtle atom bomb
Is this the guy who just got convicted?
Same names but no
