It’s incredible how every generation has a different G.I. Joe yet Larry’s work still continues to be a part of it. G.I. Joe Retaliation took a lot of inspiration from Larry and now Snake Eyes will release and we will see his legacy live on. Great interview!
Along with Chris Claremont's X-Men, Larry's run on GI Joe influenced me more than any other comics in my formative years. I always appreciated his emphasis of honor, loyalty, and companionship. I took those lessons to heart. They made a big impact on me as a kid and they inform my value system still to this day. I think too many modern comics lack those qualities, which is why I re-read lots of silver and bronze age comics as opposed to the new stuff these days. Thanks for the interview, Mike.
It's not entirely accurate that he never used captions or thought balloons. I have the entire marvel run....that being said, this one of the best interviews with him I have heard. great job.
I think one reader pointed out an issue around # 20 where he did use thought balloons. It was explained away by the editor, but to be fair that was at least one exception.
Mr. Hama may not want to admit it, but he is responsible for the positive moral education of millions of young men with no fathers at home. Me being one of them. Thank you for your great work.
If Harry wanted to do funny animals I would have love it if he did Captain Carrot. Although we might not have gotten his classic GI Joe run if that happened.
The hype of snake eyes origins brought me here. I love G.I. Joe. Amazing interview. Thank you Larry Hama.
My dream would be to see Hama collaborate with Kojima on a serious GI Joe game.

There was definitely more than one exception... But yes, especially in the later run, thought balloons were completely gone
I didn't know it as kid in the 80's But, he became my monthly stress relief!
Thank You Larry.

Brilliantly put!
AWESOME interview! Really sincere and genuine. x
Loved his stint on The Wolverine :) one of my favourite writers
I've waited my whole life to interview Mr. Hama. Hope it turned out okay :)

The best!
Seeing him here, it’s clear that Storm Shadow, in issue 26 specifically, and elsewhere, is clearly modeled on a young Larry Hama.
