gscomicfest Grasshopper Posts: 101 My Collection	Posted: May 22, 2015 3:11:00 pm GSCF is proud to welcome Larry Hama to Garden State Comic Fest!! Hama is best known as writer of the Marvel Comics licensed series G.I. Joe, based on the Hasbro line of military action figures. Hama said in a 2006 interview that he was given the job by then editor-in-chief Jim Shooter after every other writer at Marvel had turned it down. Hama at the time had recently pitched a Nick Fury: Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. spin-off series, Fury Force, about a special mission force. Hama used this concept as the back-story for G.I. Joe. He included military terms and strategies, Eastern philosophy, martial arts and historical references from his own background. The comic ran 155 issues (February 1982-October 1994). Hama also wrote the majority of the G.I. Joe action figures' file cards—short biographical sketches designed to be clipped from the G.I. Joe and Cobra cardboard packaging. In 2007 these filecards were reprinted in the retro packaging for the G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero 25th Anniversary line In 2006, Hama returned to his signature characters with the Devils Due Publishing miniseries G.I. Joe Declassified, which chronicled the recruitment of the squad's first members by General Hawk. In 2007, the company added the spin-off series Storm Shadow, written by Hama and penciled by Mark A. Robinson, which ceased publication with issue 7.[14] In December 2007, Hasbro released 25th-anniversary comic-book figure two-packs that featured original stories by Hama. These new Hasbro-published issues were designed to take place in-between the panels of the Marvel series. In September 2008, IDW announced a new line of G.I. Joe comics with one series, G.I. Joe Origins, to be primarily written by Hama. He wrote the first 5 issues, as the series was originally intended to be a miniseries, and returned to write four more issues (including #19, which was a Snake-Eyes "silent issue") over the course of the book's 21-issue run. IDW later revived the Marvel Comics continuity with Hama taking the helm of a new ongoing series picking up where the Marvel series left off with issue #155 ½ and continues to date. He has also written for the series Wolverine, Nth Man: the Ultimate Ninja, Spider-Man, X-Men, Avengers, Punisher, and Elektra. Larry also created the character Bucky O'Hare, which was developed into a comic book, a toy line and television cartoon in its own right.

gscomicfest Grasshopper Posts: 101 My Collection	Posted: June 29, 2015 6:50:57 pm GSCF is thrilled to announce at our upcoming Garden State Comic Fest for the 1st time in 8 years you will have a chance to see the original DC/Marvel Classic Character Murals Painted by GREG HILDEBRANDT. These amazing painted murals, when seen in person, truly take your breath away. Originally painted for "The Evolution of Comic Book Heroes" Show held September 16th 2007 at the Montclair Art Museum in NJ.The show was put together by Michael Uslan and the museum. The Murals each measure a whopping 53" tall by 12 feet wide. Originally it was a 24 foot mural that the museum commissioned (this is the largest painting ever done by Greg). Unfortunately DC at the time did not want their characters on the same canvas with Marvels characters so Greg cut the canvas in half. This is such a rare opportunity to see such beauty in person and GSCF is so thankful for the to Greg Hildebrandt for giving us this opportunity to share this with you the fans!
