    Volume 1 - 1st printing. "Spilled Ink!" Written by Kevin Eastman, David Avallone, and Amanda Deibert. Art by Ben Bishop, Troy Little, Dave Acosta, Skylar Patridge, and Kevin Eastman. Cover by Ben Bishop. Back Cover by Ben Bishop and Kevin Eastman. From the bestselling mind of TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES co-creator Kevin Eastman comes the totally fictional true story of comics creator Shane "Books" Bookman, a cartoonist on the skids. Once upon a time, he and his brother birthed a worldwide phenomenon, self-publishing a crazy indie comic about crime-fighting cat-girls. Now... Books is hitting his forties (hard), the money all gone, artistic inspiration tapped out, beset on all sides... and trying to recover from his catastrophic encounter with the hit-and-run driver called "early success." DRAWING BLOOD follows a cartoonist whose real life has become more absurd and action-packed than any comic book story he could dream up! This trade collects all four issues of the first volume of DRAWING BLOOD, and as an added bonus, the origin issue of Books' creation, the RADICALLY REARANGED RONIN RAGDOLLS! Straight from 1992, it's the first adventure of America's favorite ferocious felines! 122 pages of comic stories, plus additional behind-the-scenes extras showing the evolution of the project. Softcover, 176 pages, full color. Cover price $19.99.
