Description

2021 NYCC Purchase
I was a serious bidder (thought I was at least) when the page went up on a Comic Connect auction featuring the first appearance of Duke and Roadblock. I was into that page for a few thousand but had to bail at a certain point and was shocked that it went for north of $12k.

So what do you get as a consolation prize? In issue 263 from IDW which continues the Marvel run, the Joes are featured in a Memorial Day issue. While going through Artist Alley I saw that Brian Shearer, the inker, had the inked pages for sale in his binder so I picked them up. Pages 7 and 8 feature Duke and Roadblock having a flashback to their own first appearance and Gallant and Shearer recreate the scene which was published in this issue. The pages are ink over blue line. This is Page 8.

Looks just as dramatic as the original when Roadblock came out of nowhere and blasted that rattler out of the sky. You knew right then that he was going to be your favorite Joe if he was capable of that level of destruction!

Yep I remember that G.I. Joe #22 1st appearance page auction and the resulting shock from the hammer. I'd also say this is once heck of a consolation prize too. What a fantastic recreation of that moment.
