If there's one name that has become synonymous with G.I. Joe comics, then it's Larry Hama. The legendary writer has been the driving force behind G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero since it began at Marvel in 1982, scripting almost all of the original 155 issues himself.
The series was cancelled in 1994, but picked up again a few years later at Devil's Due Publishing - albeit this time without Hama. This situation was rectified in 2010 when IDW took on the title and recruited Hama to write it, numbering their first issue as #156 to honor the original Marvel run. It ended with #300 in September 2022.
