IDW Publishing is reprinting classic issues of the original G.I. Joe comic series, editor Andy Schmidt has revealed.

Classic G.I. Joe Volume 6 is a graphic novel compilation featuring the work of critically acclaimed writer Larry Hama. It also features early contributions from Rod Whigham, Andy Mushynsky and Spawn creator Todd McFarlane.

“It’s a shame that these industry-changing issues have never been collected previously – and obviously we’re extremely proud to be the ones to bring them back into print,” Schmidt said.

Hama added:

“I think it’s terrific that these issues will finally be reprinted. Rod Whigham was really hitting his stride in these arcs and he was getting top-flight inking by a roster of classy pros. And then, of course, there’s Sgt. Slaughter, Zarana, and the secret of the Terrordromes.”

Classic G.I. Joe Volume 6 debuts in November. IDW is expected to follow its release with more exclusive reprints.
