Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder #1A (IDW 2025) Signed by James Saito

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder #1A from IDW’s 2025 series features a rare signature by actor James Saito, including his name written in Japanese along the right side of the book. It comes with an Ugly Monkey Comics Certificate of Authenticity, making this signed comic a distinctive addition to a TMNT collection.

Written by Dan Watters, with art by Michele Bandini and a cover by Mateus Santolouco, this 32-page, full-color issue brings one of the most feared villains in comics back to New York. After a maddening ordeal leaves Shredder forever changed, he returns betrayed, separated from the Foot Clan, and possibly insane.

As a former Foot prodigy creates a rival clan with infernal plans for the city, a recovering Shredder is drawn into New York’s criminal underworld. Old enemies and new threats stand in his path as he fights to reclaim his place through revenge and violence.

Why This Signed Issue Stands Out

• Signed by James Saito with an unusual Japanese signature inscription along the right side.
• Includes an Ugly Monkey Comics COA.
• Features the Shredder in a dark, revenge-driven story set within the criminal underworld of New York.
• Written by Dan Watters, known for Batman: Dark Patterns, Nightwing, Lucifer, Six Fingers, and Home Sick Pilots.
• Artwork by Michele Bandini, whose credits include Batman Incorporated and Spider-Man: City at War.

The issue carries a $4.99 cover price and combines a major TMNT villain’s return with a particularly uncommon signed presentation, giving collectors both a compelling modern story and a memorable autographed comic.
