GI Joe Reports For Duty in the 1950s Ziff-Davis Series, at Auction
A pair of classic Ziff-Davis GI Joe comics are taking bids today at Heritage Auctions and feature some amazing painted covers you gotta see.
GI Joe, but not as you may remember. Yes, though some of you may only remember A Real American Hero, Joe has been around for quite a bit longer than that, including in the comics space. Starting in the 50's Ziff-Davis had a long running and very popular Joe anthology book on the stands, featuring painted covers and some of the most striking images from the golden age. What's wild that you may not know? GI Joe has been printed in comics form all the way back to 1941. The Ziff-Davis run was set during the Korean War, and ran for some time before cancellation. DC Comics then took a crack in the 60's as well. The title has a long-standing history with many different publishers and deserves more attention for that. Heritage Auctions has a two-issue pairing of the Ziff-Davis run, issues #37 and 38 taking bids today, and it currently sits at $23. Check them out below.
