Claymore

Claymore burst onto the scene in 2004 through Devil's Due Publishing's G.I. Joe #26, a Modern Age creation from writers Brandon Jerwa and Tim Seeley that dropped fans right into the thick of one of comics' most beloved military universes. With only a handful of appearances concentrated in a tight 2004–2005 window, this is a character whose footprint is small but whose company is anything but — sharing pages with heavy hitters like Snake-Eyes, Duke, and the ever-scheming Destro. For collectors who love deep-cut G.I. Joe lore and the Devil's Due era of the franchise, Claymore is exactly the kind of find that rewards digging into the back-issue bins.
