maloney414 Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 And here is my grail Larry Hama sketch: The silent issue cover recreation. Just had this Snake Eyes versus Firefly sketch by the great Larry Hama mailed to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Master Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Very cool commission indeed! I've always thought Stalker was a great character, very underrated IMO. I'd love to see a one-shot of his exploits in Nam. That would be an awesome story line! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whisp Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Found Marvel 2002 GI Joe trades 4 and 5 brand new. Was happy about that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OV Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Picked this up recently. Pencils by the great Larry Hama, and one of the best ink jobs I've ever seen by Steve Lydic. He made the visor look unreal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catman76 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 I only had 70s comics of my uncle's as a little kid, but GI Joe 24 and 25 were the only new comics I had at the time. I read these things a million times and as I got older became sort of obsessed with the baroness in these panels haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OV Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Can anyone point me to a website that shows the pages to #155 of the original GI Joe series? The final issue? :wishluck Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OV Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Remember the cover to the GI Joe Special? I asked the cover's inker Scott Koblish to sketch a re-creation for me at the Long Beach con this past weekend. Here it is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OV Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 I had the great Russ Heath sign GI Joe #64. He did the inks for this issue, and if you read it you'll see the high quality. This is the only copy that's signed by this legend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzetta Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 NYCC Larry Hama Artist Alley B-9 Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I already know what commission I am asking for this year. He brings a 8x11 paper for sketching... So far I have in my collection: GI Joe 21: Signature Series CGC 9.4 Snake Eyes Sketch 8x11 Storm Shadow Sketch 8x11 Snake Eyes Issue 21 Cover Recreation 8x11 This year I am thinking of Tunnel Rat, Scarlett or Cobra Commander, I know art wise he is very familiar with those characters. If he is up to it I would be down for Clutch and the Vamp but we will see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whisp Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Tunnel Rat is based off Larry Hama so that would be cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzetta Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Yeah, that's why it's my first choice as of now. He mentioned to me last year that he gets a lot of requests for Cobra Commander kicking a puppy so I know he is familiar with that but I don't think I would want that. I am leaning on a Tunnel Rat and a second sketch to be determined the day of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzzetta Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Encouraged my friend to take the second spot I was going to grab. I took a Tunnel Rat he took "Your Choice". Hama sketched him a Lady Jaye. Here is Tunnel Rat though.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Sinescu Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 GI Joe 109 Page 15 Joe fans know what went down in this issue. Yeah, that's a good issue, no doubt and definitely under-appreciated for its significance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzetta Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Apparently the IDW Hardcover "Complete GI Joe" Series has ended due to lack of support. What a shame. It was spoken about on Hisstank.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whisp Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Apparently the IDW Hardcover "Complete GI Joe" Series has ended due to lack of support. What a shame. It was spoken about on Hisstank.com Not surprised especially when it comes to the modern ones. Lot of those books are $2-$4 in the longboxes so why pay $50 when you can get them cheaper. I see the hardcovers already be discounted as well usually around half price. Then you look at the arah reprints and while maybe the first and second volume is ok you can get the softcover for like $15 a volume and in certain numbers of the 155 you can find those original books at $2 a piece for decent quality originals and get it cheaper in the end.

Bad news indeed, I was planning to get all of them. But as you say, I guess there isn't much point in them when most of the issues you can find in the dollar box.

Buzzetta Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 I have Volumes 1-8 already and will pick up Volume 9 soon... I do not see any solicitations for Volume 10 but will happily grab it as soon as it is available. If this is true I thought about scrapping what I have purchases so far but then I realized that the product is too good to get rid of especially with the commentary at the end of each 'chapter'. Over on Hisstank I would probably finish of the series by picking up the softcover collections without the commentary to have a complete run. I too was really hoping to have a full set of these but can still be happy with what was released. It is like the Superman Omnibus. DC has been reprinting the Superman stories in publication order so each volume gets you a mix of Action Comics and Superman Comics. I do not expect them to finish out the run though but I will pick up Volume 2 eventually and maybe the next couple. A full run of GI Joe in the format they were releasing it in would be nice though.
