In celebration of Skybound Entertainment acquiring the G.I. Joe license, the publisher will be re-releasing the first issue of the classic '80s series. This time, however, that historic issue will be published with Larry Hama’s original, unedited dialogue for the very first time. Skybound surprised the comics world earlier this summer when it announced that it had acquired the Hasbro properties Transformers and G.I.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT If that wasn't enough, Skybound will be re-issuing a special edition of the very first issue from 1982, presenting a version of the classic comic that fans have never seen before. "Celebrate the return of G.I.
I never rewrote a single word of anybody’s script in all my time as an editor. If a change had to be made, I had the writer do it himself. I was sensitive to this because an editor changed a whole balloon in G.I. Joe #1. The original line was, "A soldier’s job is to do the unthinkable and be forgotten." What was substituted was some jingoistic patriotic crap that I carried the baggage for in silence for 30 years.
It's clear that Hama's original issue has more to say than was initially allowed, and any fans who haven’t read the original issue now have the perfect opportunity to dive into one of the greatest runs in mainstream comics history. Against all odds, Hama and his artists took what could have been a throwaway toy cash-in and turned it into a thrilling adventure serial with drama and pathos, all of it bolstered by Hama’s real-world military experience and personal philosophy.
Whether new to the franchise or returning after a long stint away, fans won’t want to miss Skybound's Larry Hama cut of G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero #1 when it drops November 15 from Skybound Entertainment.
