The Korean War is viewed through more of a satirical lens in the pages of Ziff-DavisÕs 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 HARD COVER AND TRADE PAPERBACK EDITIONS AS WELL AS
IN FULL COLOR OR BLACK & WHITE.
