Protecting TMNT The Last Ronin

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles The Last Ronin series started with a 5 issue mini-series (IDW Publishing, April 2022). The series depicts a future NYC where a lone Turtle seeks justice for his fallen family and friends. These comics are not the common “current comic size”, making it a bit more challenging to bag and board these book if you plan to protect them in the normal fashion. The Last Ronin comics measures 7 1/16″ x 10 13/16″, larger than most current comics. These are thick perfect bound issues, meaning they have wraparound covers that are glued to the interior pages, like paperback books.

The Last Ronin are essentially the height of a traditional magazine, and the width of Golden Age comics. Therefore a bit of customizing is needed to get the desired fit when storing these with bags and boards. Get Golden Age Comic Bags (7 5/8″ x 10 1/2″). The version without the resealable strip is best in this instance, as the flap in the back will not reach down to the resealable strip, so the flap will need to be taped down. For the backing boards, get Magazine Boards (8 1/2″ x 11″) as those are the appropriate height. It will be necessary to trim one inch off the side of the Mag Boards in order to get the desired width.
