G.I. JOE VOLUME TWO STANDARD COLOR EDITION: COLLECTING ISSUES #6-10 RETRO COMIC REPRINTS #290
The Korean War is viewed through more of a satirical lens in the pages of Ziff-Davis's G.I.JOE series
than the war normally was in comics. The violence is portrayed in an almost slapstick fashion.
Sergeants are ogres, officers are incompetent, women are seductresses and the enemy is easily
dispatched caricatures. If it were not for the enlisted men, who are just regular folks, the whole
world would end up speaking Korean or even Chinese.
The riveting covers of G.I.JOE in this volume were composed by Norman Saunders and Allen
Anderson. The interiors have incredible artwork by Henry Sharp, Mike Sekowsky, Dan DeCarlo, Irv
Novick and Jack Sparling, plus other great talents.
G.I. JOE by Ziff-Davis has an interesting publishing history numerically. The first five issues were
numbered #10-14 and were published between February to October of 1951. Ziff-Davis decided that
these issues should be considered the first five comics of G.I.JOE and relaunched the series with issue
#6 in April of 1952. This means there are two different issues each of G.I.JOE #10-14 published by
Ziff-Davis.
THIS BOOK IS AVAILABLE IN BOTH HARDCOVER AND TRADE PAPERBACK EDITIONS AS WELL AS IN EITHER
FULL COLOR OR BLACK & WHITE
