As a few know, I also collect comic books. I also collect comic book art. For me, my real introduction to the GI Joe universe came from the Comic Books and not the toys. I had received a VAMP with Clutch long before I read one of the comics, but it was Hama's comic series that drew me into the Joe Universe.
Over the years I have had the opportunity to pick up several pieces of G.I. Joe Comic Book art. I figured I would start a thread to share them with you and hopefully others will post what they have collected. This is NOT a for sale thread as none of my pieces are on the market. I am also throwing in a link to my CAF galleries if you want to see more or comment over there. Again, nothing that I post is for sale either here or in the CAF folder. I currently own six pages with four from the classic Marvel series. The one I smile the most from is the Snake Eyes splash from the GI Joe #155, the final issue. Check them out and post what you have. I am also digging Padilla's pencils on the cover of issue 160 for the revival series. Link to my CAF Gallery Comic Art Gallery of Andrew Buzzetta at ComicArtFans.com Currently featuring GI Joe 20 Page 17 - Clutch goes back home GI Joe 25 Page 9 - Snake Eyes learns that the ninja he fought in issue 21 is connected to his past GI Joe 38 Page 16 - Recondo and the Natives meet up with Stalker, Roadblock, Gung Ho and Rip Cord GI Joe 88 Page 29 - Snake Eyes tackles Darklon GI Joe 136 Page 4 - Snake Eyes 1/3 (1/2?)

Met with Larry Hama at the Big Apple show today in NYC and picked up a Snake Eyes sketch. Check it out. While I was there I also asked him to sign a copy of Joe 21 accompanied by a CGC witness. That book was verified and will spend the next couple of months in Sarasota at CGC before it comes back slabbed.

Thanks... I'm looking to pick up a couple of minor pages in a month or two. With the announcement of Valiant properties being developed for movies and other non-comic media, people have been cashing in some of their art. I picked up an Eternal Warrior splash and am waiting on another EW splash along with a double page Turok spread. With the amount of Joe art produced I am surprised that more of it is not available for sale or at least on display, which is why I started the thread. |

Have a couple of cool things to show off.
For Starters - Back at NYCC in 2015 I asked Larry Hama for a Storm Shadow commission... This was the result. I was pleased and decided to ask for another commission... |

The next commission was kind of ballsy to ask for I thought but I figured what the heck... it was worth a try. "Mr. Hama, could I get a sketch of Snake Eyes from the cover of issue 21?"
Bam! The coolest thing was that he liked it so much he took a photo and put it up on his own FB page. Thanks Mr Hama! |

Picked up GI Joe Page 9 from Issue 25 where Snake Eyes learns that the ninja he fought at the Silent Castle in Issue 21 was part of the Arashikage clan.
