We are proud to announce Comic Book and GI-Joe Legend, Larry Hama will be attending his first show ever in the UK at Roll Out Roll Call 2012.
Hama is best known as writer of the Marvel Comics licensed series G.I. Joe, based on the Hasbro line of military action figures. He has also written for the series Wolverine, Nth Man: the Ultimate Ninja, and Elektra. He created the character Bucky O'Hare, which was developed into a comic book, a toy line and television cartoon.
Hama had previously 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 He included military terms and strategies, Eastern philosophy, martial arts and historical references from his own background.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.
Appearing both Saturday and Sunday, Larry is happy to sign items for free, however please note there may be a charge for large numbers of signings. Larry is also offering attendees the chance to purchase sketches. Larry has confirmed his attendance, but his appearance is subject to other commitments, outside of the event organiser's control
