GI Joe #1 Cover Recreation

It's Independence Day week in the USA as I post this, so good timing to share my recent comic book original art recreation of Herb Trimpe and Bob McLeod's cover to G.I. Joe #1 from 1982. I upped my game authenticity-wise on this cover, hand finishing the blue pencil art with a vintage 1970s mechanical pencil, and inking hand-lettering (the bits that were hand-lettered on the original) the final art (boy, that Bob McLeod could sure ink tiny characters with so much detail!), with new-old-stock 1970s India ink, sable brushes and circa 1980 technical pens - all on naturally aged 2-ply Strathmore Bristol board.

As always there are five different anti-fraud measures I incorporate in my recreations to prevent any missuse. For more info on those and my recreations in general please visit my updated website for more info.
