Silent Master

Sweet!

Hey Comicroc - Where's that sweet GI Joe 46 SS you had in your signature line???!??!?!?!!

You better not get rid of that until you offer to let me buy it first!

I know this isn't exactly "Copper" but as Joe fans from the 80's I thought some of you might appriciate these.

I just purchased these 4 pieces from Mr. Hama directly:

The sketch cover artwork from GI Joe:ARAH #170 (Sept release)

OR

(Larry wasn't sure which one IDW was using for the retail incentive cover).

From #171 (October release)

From #172 (November release)

Larry is one awesome guy!!!

I thought about it but something tells me he wouldn't let it go!

VERY NICE!!! I've thought about collecting the 'Nam myself several times. Great stories. And of course the Golden SS makes them even sweeter!

Thanks for sharing!

Nice big batch of SS...lots of Michael Golden and Tim Vigil, two of my favorites...

 

One of the BEST covers ever...even talked Mr.Golden into signing it with his old 'circular' signature

 

Very cool sig/sketch by Tim Vigil to help complete my Grips run...this thing was flawless, was very surprised at a 9.6

 

and lastly one of my favorite books, Northstar 1...thought this would come in at a 9.4 but it's still a great book

The 'Nam SS! Show those baby's off!

Hama has never been to a con?!?!!!! We need to do something! After all these years and story telling left out to fry. I would love to jump on board to help. He needs the recognition for creating one of the greatest comics in the last thirty years!

Well he's been to cons before; I think his comment was that he has never been invited to a "major con"... I've sent an e-mail to IDW and Hasbro encouraging them to promote Larry's work during next season's con schedule - esp with the new movie coming out.

Those are both most excellent!

With the 30th Anniversary of GI Joe: ARAH hero on the horizon next year I have been researching and looking at a lot of aspect and history of GI Joe. I recently discovered something and I thought maybe I could touch base with some of you and maybe some people on other GI Joe boards about maybe starting a grass roots movement to push this milestone...

Did you know that Mr. Hama has never been invited to a major comic convention? This is a man that created and/or developed backgrounds for more characters than quite possibly any other comic writer! He wrote most every Marvel GI Joe comic and still finds himself writing stories with those same characters 30 years later! These characters were a focus of more than one animated series and soon to be 2 major motion pictures. I'm sure we could go on and on...

There has to be a way to "encourage" one, if not more than one, of the conventions to honor Mr. Hama next year for his contribution, not only to GI Joe but other titles (the Nam, Wolverine, Bucky O’ Hare, Nth man, Elektra, and others I’m sure). I would think it would be a perfect time - 30th year anniversary, the second movies due out next summer, the ongoing IDW series!

So do you think this is possible? How would we start making a push like this? Maybe some of the artist and creators that post on here could make some suggestions? Anyone out there active on other sites that could ask questions or push this?

Larry has really brought GI Joe to us all and who's to say that GI Joe would have ever made it without Larry's storytelling and character development... we as fans should really find a way to tell him we appreciate his work through the years!!!

Comments? Thoughts?

You're forgrtting that there were two stories in G.I. Joe #1 and two sets of artists! Now you need to get Don Perlin to add his John Hancock! Unfortunately no way to get Jack Abel's signature. And as a bonus, you could add Al Milgrom who inked the pinups over Trimpe...

 

And I got this triple signed good news a few days ago! Can't wait to get this baby in!!!

Nice!

I should get a blank cover and have that baby signed by everyone I could just to see how CGC handled the label after about 30 signatures

Great looking Joe books man, I love them

 

I've often wondered if Stan Lee's signature belongs on any of the SS G I Joe books. Did Lee have anything to do with the series other than the Marvel name in general?

I've looked into that and not that I can find. I kinda wanted to add Stan's sig. too something but I can't find a reason...

My 4 favorites:

GI Joe #1 - signed by Hama - Trimpe - McLeod

GI Joe #43 - signed by Zeck & Beatty

GI Joe #63 - signed by Zeck & McLeod

GI Joe Special #1 - signed by Hama & McFarlane

And I got this triple signed good news a few days ago! Can't wait to get this baby in!!!
