Captivating Cover: GI Joe Issue #2
I still remember reading issue #2 of the GI Joe comic, when the team first ran afoul of Kwinn, who would go on to become an early favorite character in the comic–wait, oh this the second issue of the DC GI Joe series. Oops, sorry for the mix-up.
Once again, we’re treated to wonderful Joe Kubert art, and who else could do the military era of GI Joe such gritty justice?
The fighter pilot’s face is amazingly done. The desperation and fear is perfectly conveyed.
Kwinn’s so overrated. He’s no Candy Appel or Bonzo the Bear.
That should read ‘Bongo’.
And of course, Kubert would go on to do the packaging art for the Sgt. Savage line.
You know, it’s almost funny, but these could be retroactively treated as stories starring Joe Colton and the original action team.
