“G.I. JOE fans have been vocal about wanting volume 2 of the G.I. JOE: COMPLETE COLLECTION,” said G.I. Joe editor, Carlos Guzman. “We like to give the fans what they want. This series has turned into something very special and I’m so glad to be a part of it.”

“It’s hard to imagine a way to make classic G.I. JOE comics any cooler than they already are,” said Michael Kelly, Hasbro’s Director of Global Publishing. “But offering a volume that includes original artwork and Larry Hama’s autograph definitely puts it off the charts.”

Collecting the classic REAL AMERICAN HERO series, the G.I. JOE: Complete Collection, Volume 2 is 12 issues of all-American action!
