G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero returning for Saturday Morning Adventures

November 22, 2021 by Gary Collinson

IDW Publishing has announced that it is set to revisit the beloved 1980s animated series G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero this February for a nostalgic send-up with a brand new four-issue miniseries from the creative team of writer Erik Burnham, artist Dan Schoening, and colorist Luis Antonio Delgado entitled G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero – Saturday Morning Adventures.

“I loved how straight-up weird cartoons can be,” says Burnham. “The G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero cartoon allowed for gremlins, Egyptian gods, and of course, a ninja dressed in an 80’s New Wave outfit, wig and all. You never knew where the show might take you. Writing a story set in that universe, you can do anything… and I’m partnered with artists like Dan Schoening and Luis Antonio Delgado, who can draw anything. The idea we came to felt right at home within the world of the cartoon, and I can’t wait to share it with everyone.”

“As a child of the ’80s, I always had a healthy dose of the G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero animated show, not to mention the vast line-up of action figures. It’s an honor to take the cartoon that I enjoyed (and still do) so much and visually translate it into the comic book medium,” states Schoening.

“So many times, we fondly remember our past favorites from the world of pop culture through a skewed nostalgic lens, only to find disappointment when we revisit them… but in the case of G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero, the loyal fandom is still very active, the classic comics and cartoons still hold up, and the only skewed lens is Dr. Mindbender’s patented monocle,” adds editor Tom Waltz. “The superstar creative team of Erik, Dan, and Luis are here to bring us a brand-new adventure that reminds us of why G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero is the exception to the nostalgia rule!”

Everyone knows that G.I. JOE is the code name for America’s daring, highly trained special mission force, and that their purpose is to defend human freedom against Cobra, a ruthless criminal organization determined to rule the world. But now, Cobra has launched the Aladdin Initiative, their most versatile weapon yet… challenging Duke, Scarlett, Snake Eyes, and the G.I. JOE team like never before!

G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero – Saturday Morning Adventures #1 will go on sale in February 2022.
