That’s right folks, the ninth TMNT bookplate that I’ve produced with Mirage Studios is signed and ready to be sent to you! Here’s a look at the image, created by Jim Lawson, for this release.

This time around, the bookplate will include the signatures of Peter Laird, Jim Lawson, Steve Murphy and Dan Berger. And unlike previous TMNT bookplates in the past, this one will not be “tipped-in” to the books. Due to some customer requests, I’ve opted this time to simply bag the bookplate with the book. I’ve heard requests from people that they’d like the option to display these bookplates in other places than the books (like in a frame on their wall), and I’d like to encourage that. I think that many of the images created for the various Panel to Panel bookplates deserve to be framed and displayed for others to enjoy. And if you want the bookplate in your book, just get a glue stick and go to town! If I hear enough comments saying you, the customer, want your bookplates back in the books, I’ll happily change my mind. But for right now, the bookplates will no longer come attached to the books (unless the artist has specifically designed them to do so, as Rick Veitch has in the past with his bookplates).

In other bookplate news… In the coming weeks I’ll be posting images from all the bookplates from Panel to Panel’s past (in case you may have missed one). And I’ll have very exciting announcements about some upcoming bookplates too! Remember, just click on the “exclusives” button, on the left side of your screen, to shop all of Panel to Panel’s signed bookplates (while supplies last!).
