In the newest episode of CGC Signature Series Spotlight, we sit down with Kevin Eastman, the co-creator of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and one of the most influential figures in independent comic history.

This is an honest, energetic, and must-watch conversation with a visionary who helped redefine what independent comics could become.

Original art, foundational sketches, production materials, and iconic artifacts all come together to showcase the legacy of a franchise that changed pop culture forever. The full collection is available through Kevin Eastman Studios where collectors can explore and purchase pieces directly at KevinEastmanStudios.com.
