G.I JOE : A REAL AMERICAN HERO - SATURDAY MORNING ADVENTURES #1-4 (Burnham / Schoening)

IDW annonce la mini-série G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero - Saturday Morning Adventures, qui se déroulera, comme son titre l’indique, dans l’univers du dessin animé G.I. Joe des années 80.

Déjà à l’oeuvre sur les bandes dessinées Ghostbusters de l’éditeur, le scénariste Erik Burnham et le dessinateur Dan Schoening reforment leur duo pour ce titre qui sera publié à partir de février 2022.

« I loved how straight-up weird cartoons can be, » Burnham said. « The G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero cartoon allowed for gremlins, Egyptian gods, and of course, a ninja dressed in an 80’s New Wave outfit, wig and all. You never knew where the show might take you. Writing a story set in that universe, you can do anything, and I’m partnered with artists like Dan Schoening and Luis Antonio Delgado, who can draw anything. The idea we came to felt right at home within the world of the cartoon, and I can’t wait to share it with everyone. »

G.I. Joe is the codename for America’s daring, highly trained, special mission force. Its purpose: To defend human freedom against Cobra, a ruthless terrorist organization determined to rule the world… well, you know the story! But now, Cobra might have found their most versatile weapon yet! Can even G.I. Joe stop the Aladdin Initiative?
Find out in this special Saturday morning send-up, based on the classic 1980s cartoon, and brought to you by the superstar creative team of Erik Burnham, Dan Schoening, and Luis Antonio Delgado (Ghostbusters, Godzilla: Monsters & Protectors)!
