The new BATs in Joe are a challenge, as they show no emotion; kind of like the Terminators. When they’re spitting fire, they at least look like they’re…
A special shout out to the Bionic Woman in this issue of Joe… wonder if anyone heard it?
In this scene at the Cobra casino and resort, the bell hop uniform was supposed to be modeled after the Playboy club outfits from days past. I didn’t…
Most artists pick celebrities to reference for characters, as some Joe figures are obviously based on actors from the time they were designed, and even those that weren’t…
In a post from a long way back, I said I always saw GI Joe as the US version of the 00-agents in the Bond films; only with…
Now and then I do like the motion of a page, and as I said before I prefer things to feel more like a movie. That said, I…
I hate when characters always move in unrealistic ways, even when doing “heroic” stuff; but sometimes the script limits you. I like how Zartan is puling his arrow,…
Most people won’t even catch half of these things, but when I’m given a location, or specific situation, I try to fully set design stuff. I don’t just…
Based on the last post, here’s a another shot of that same lab. The second panel is a shot from the landing toward the console area, then an…

Since I’ve been so crazy busy, and not sure when the new books are set to release, I thought I’d revisit old issues of Joe. I’m not picking…
Or as I refer to it… dawn. A lot of people take credit on this, but here is her first appearance.
Sometimes you see a shot, and ask… “Wonder if I’d have drawn it that way?“. In an issue before my restart, a panel caught my eye, and I…
More from the issue dropping this week. This is a tiny corner of a panel, but for some reason I was really happy with the pose. I try…
Back on Joe for a bit, and of course, it’s on an insane deadline; with the first issue dropping this week! I barely have time to think, so…
