James R. King

A Modern Age arrival stepping onto one of comics' most storied battlefields, James R. King debuted in 2013's G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero #193, brought to life by the legendary Larry Hama alongside artists Sergio Cariello and S. L. Gallant — the very creative team keeping IDW's long-running continuation of this beloved franchise firing on all cylinders. King shares the page with heavy hitters like Conrad S. Hauser, Hawk, and Jinx, placing him squarely in elite company within the G.I. Joe universe. With appearances collected in Classic G.I. Joe trade paperbacks, he's a figure worth tracking down for any dedicated fan of Hama's unbroken, decades-spanning saga.
