G.I. JOE: THE COMPLETE COLLECTION VOL.1 - RED LABEL

There is just something about picking up this G.I. JOE: The Complete Collection Vol.1 in IDW Limited Red Label format, that sits well with my collecting senses. From the very second you pull the copy from it's container, the scent of fresh ink, giving it that new car smell. The very posh red satin ribbon bookmark, accompanied by the killer cloth treatment on the cover, it just gives you a feel for quality, and craftsmanship in a book, that you just do not see in the comic book industry.

IDW Limited G.I. Joe - Red Label

Recently HISS Tank.com had a chance to sit down with well know author Mark Bellomo to discuss his work on G.I. Joe: The Complete Collection, the full run of original Real American Hero, Special Missions, and Yearbook tales, placed in proper reading order and collected in handsome hardcover volumes.

"I was eleven years old when G.I. Joe #1 was released, and I remember reading and re-reading and re-re-reading the wonderfully oversized Treasury Edition reprint of #1 at least 500 times until the pages fell apart in my hands; this is NO exaggeration. I have memorized nearly every word of the first issue. The comic speaks to me like no other before or since; I therefore have a vested interest in seeing this project succeed."
