Veteran G.I. Joe writer Larry Hama and artist Chris Mooneyham, against the odds perhaps, rejuvenated as well as continued the long-running G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero for a new generation with Skybound’s release of G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero #301. Now, we have word that issues #301-#303 have sold out! But since nature (as well as comicdom) abhors a vacuum, new printings of each issue are on their way, with all-new covers by a host of hot artists. Check out a gallery of these covers below, after these official deets…
