Skybound and Image Comics, in collaboration with leading toy and game company Hasbro, announced fan-favorite artist Paul Pelletier (Aquaman) as series guest artist for the smash hit series G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero.
“Joining the GI JOE team sounded like a fun challenge. Having spent most of my career in the superhero world, GI JOE provides a chance for me to push myself as an artist/storyteller on a slightly different kind of book,” said artist Paul Pelletier. “Working with an all-time pro like Larry Hama is a very nice bonus, along with getting to work again with my friend Tony on inks and seeing page after page of Francesco’s terrific colors.”
Paul Pelletier joins the creative team alongside legendary series writer Larry Hama (Marvel’s Wolverine), artist Tony Kordos (Batman & Robin Eternal) and colorist Francesco Segala (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers). Featuring covers by the incomparable Andy Kubert (Marvel’s X-Men), the iconic series’ issue #306 arrives in comic book shops on May 15, 2024.
“I’m thrilled to be working with the great Paul Pelletier again,” said Alex Antone, Editorial Director at Skybound. “From Aquaman to Green Lantern, Paul’s been one of the best in the biz for years, and we can’t wait to share his G.I. JOE debut.”
