Unfortunately, I get the impression Hama is contemptuous of at least some of his fanbase and really doesn't care about us.
All that being said, if Hama developed a more open minded approach, I'd love to see Special Missions style stories.
Larry Hama REFUSED to write Zandar? That’s news to me.
Zandar was included in Marvel’s G.I. Joe comics as early as September of 1986, as written by Larry Hama in issue 51, “Thunder Machine”. When Buzzer accidentally tries to sit in an armchair, he finds it already occupied.
Zandar: “Hey! Get off! This seat’s taken!”
Buzzer: “Oh! Sorry! Didn’t see you!”
Zandar: “Nobody ever sees me!”
Zarana: “Meet my brother, Zandar. He has a bad habit of blending into the furniture!”
He continues through the issue with Zartan and Zarana, and appears again in issues # 52, 53, 55, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 79 and G.I. JOE Special Missions issue 21.
That’s a whole lot of refusing to write on Larry Hama’s part, isn’t it?
Maybe it’s just that Larry Hama refuses to write what YOU tell him to write. If he won’t sit up and bark like a dog when you tell him to, does that make him a bad writer?
I have never come to any conclusion that Larry Hama has any contempt at all for any portion of his fan base from the few conversations I’ve had with him.
Every time that my children discussed his G.I. Joe stories with him at any of the G.I. Joe conventions they attended, his face lit up with happiness or amusement, as if he enjoys making these stories for kids, more than for adults. Maybe it’s strange that adults are trying to tell him what to write about a children’s story book.
It’s no secret that Zandar and Zarana are siblings. Larry Hama has made that perfectly clear in the numerous comic issues that he supposedly refused to write, but that doesn’t mean they are dizygotic twins (fraternal), monozygotic twins (identical), conjoined twins, etc. Allow the siblings to be siblings… it’s not that difficult.
Tomax and Xamot can be our twins in the story, and they even share an empathic connection. Isn’t that enough?
