Larry Hama (b. 1949) is the writer and cartoonist who helped
develop the 1980s G.I. Joe toyline and created a new generation of
comic book fans from the tie-in comic book. Through many interviews
with Hama, this volume reveals that G.I. Joe is far from his
greatest feat as an artist. At different points in his life and
career, Hama was mentored by comics' legends Bernard Krigstein,
Wallace Wood, and Neal Adams. Though their impact left an
impression on his work, Hama has created a unique brand of
storytelling that crosses various media. For example, he devised
the character Bucky O'Hare, a green rabbit in outer space that was
made into a comic book, toy line, video game, and television
cartoon-with each medium in mind. Hama also discusses his varied
career, from working at Neal Adams and Dick Giordano's legendary
Continuity to editing a humor magazine at Marvel, developing G.I.
Joe, and enjoying a long run as writer of Wolverine. This volume
also explores Hama's life outside of comics. He is an activist in
the Asian American community, a musician, and an actor in film and
stage. He has also appeared in minor roles on the television shows
M*A*S*H and Saturday Night Live and on Broadway. Editor and
historian Christopher Irving compiles six of his own interviews
with Hama, some of which are unpublished, and compiled others that
range through Hama's illustrious career. The first academic volume
on the artist, this collection gives a snapshot of Hama's unique
character-driven and visual approach to comics' storytelling.
