Thanks to Mysterious Stranger for pointing out this excellent article on G.I. Joe #21, written by Shaenon K. Garrity, Manga Editor at Viz who writes a bit about the impact that G.I. Joe #21 had on her husband’s life. It’s really an entertaining read that paints an extremely flattering picture of this particular issue, of G.I. Joe as a comic entity, and especially of the indelible mark left on the brand by Larry Hama.
There’s nothing exceptionally news worthy in the article, but it’s just one small example of the impact that the Marvel G.I. Joe comic series had on comic professionals, and comic readers, who aren’t necessarily G.I. Joe fans. Check it out here.
That was a cool read. Even though I’ve never been a comic book reader, it is fascinating to hear that a GI Joe comic was so influential in the comic book world.
Excellent article! Issue 21 is a treasured piece of comic history for me, especially GI Joe comic history. I think I need to put a request in for my last wishes – issue #21 goes in the box with me!
