The final run of IDW’s GIJoe: Real American Hero was set in a Cobra themed casino. I really wanted to capture the feel of those places, which always seems like a sea of slot machines, and card tables. The casino was introduced before I came back to the book, and Dr. Minbender’s lab was already established as looking like it was shoved into a janitor’s closet. As the arc progressed, I kept having to find a way to expand the room, while also trying to sync it up with what had already been presented. Wasn’t easy.
Again, these issues were drawn at two pages a day, so this was cranked out in 3.5 hours. Unlike the world of manga, I don’t have assistants, so this is all me.
