FIRST LOOK: G.I. JOE: FRONTLINE #1

G.I. JOE: Frontline #1 will arrive in stores on Wednesday from Image Comics. The issue is written by Larry Hama, penciled by Dan Jurgens and inked by Bob Layton with a cover by Dave Dorman.

Here's how Image describes the issue:

"It's the year 1994, just after the government mothballed the classic G.I. Joe organization -- or did they? Cobra is still up to its dirty tricks, and there's only one group of people qualified to stop them. You can guess who that is! This story arc fills in many of the gaps between G.I. Joe of the 1980's, and the current Image Comics series, and features the return of original G.I. Joe writer, Larry Hama."

G.I. Joe: Frontline #1 will be 32 pages and will cost $2.95.
