Description

Like a lot of fans who got into comic books in the 18980s and early 90s, one of the titles that I read was G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero written by Larry Hama. He did a fantastic job taking what could have been a silly toy comic book and developed the immense cast of characters into a genuinely engaging, three-dimensional group of heroes and villains, with intelligent levels of social & political commentary.

I asked Hama to draw Tunnel Rat because the character was based on Hama himself. As per Wikipedia...

"Tunnel Rat... is the G.I. Joe Team's Explosive Ordnance Disposal specialist and debuted in 1987. The character's facial appearance and military specialty is based on G.I. Joe comic book writer Larry Hama, who was an EOD specialist for two tours of duty during the Vietnam War."

Hama did a great job drawing this piece. He's definitely one of the creators who is very giving of his time to his fans.
