January 1986
This issue features a 3-page article on the early success of the TMNT comics. There are a couple of black and white photos of Eastman and Laird, a full color illustration of Leonardo wearing a red bandana, and a reprint of the press release ad sent to news media in Spring 1984!
And here's another ad showing the cover of the 1st issue with an $85 (1st printing) price listing.
