{"product_id":"g-i-joe-volume-three-black-white-edition","title":"G.I. JOE VOLUME THREE BLACK \u0026 WHITE EDITION","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Korean War is viewed through more of a satirical lens in the pages of Ziff-DavisÕs G.I.JOE\u003cbr\u003e\nseries than the war normally was in comics. The violence is portrayed in an almost slapstick\u003cbr\u003e\nfashion. Sergeants are ogres, officers are incompetent, women are seductresses and the enemy\u003cbr\u003e\nis easily dispatched caricatures. If it were not for the enlisted men, who are just regular folks,\u003cbr\u003e\nthe whole world would end up speaking Korean or even Chinese.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe riveting covers of G.I.JOE in this volume were composed by Norman Saunders, Rafael\u003cbr\u003e\nDeSoto and Clarence Doore. The interiors have incredible artwork by Henry Sharp, Mike\u003cbr\u003e\nSekowsky, Dan DeCarlo, Carmine Infantino, plus other great talents.\u003cbr\u003e\nG.I. JOE by Ziff-Davis has an interesting publishing history numerically. The first five issues were\u003cbr\u003e\nnumbered #10-14 and were published between February to October of 1951. Ziff-Davis decided\u003cbr\u003e\nthat these issues should be considered the first five comics of G.I.JOE and relaunched the series\u003cbr\u003e\nwith issue #6 in April of 1952. This means there are two different issues each of G.I.JOE #10-14\u003cbr\u003e\npublished by Ziff-Davis. The contents of this book collect the second series issues #11-15.\u003cbr\u003e\nTHIS BOOK IS AVAILABLE IN BOTH HARDCOVER AND TRADE PAPERBACK EDITIONS AS WELL AS IN\u003cbr\u003e\nEITHER FULL COLOR OR BLACK \u0026amp; WHITE\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"RETRO COMIC REPRINTS","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44928975405217,"sku":"9798889017868","price":42.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0462\/1120\/3233\/files\/7k9r824-front-shortedge-384.jpg?v=1747583987","url":"https:\/\/bookswholesale.myshopify.com\/products\/g-i-joe-volume-three-black-white-edition","provider":"BooksWholesale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
