Junkyard

Few comics companions have earned their stripes quite like Junkyard, who bounded onto the scene in G.I. Joe, a Real American Hero #25 in 1984 — a Bronze Age debut crafted by the legendary Larry Hama and Frank Springer. Over more than four decades of publication, this scrappy presence has shared pages with heavy hitters like Roadblock, Hawk, and Mutt across Marvel's beloved G.I. Joe universe, even crossing into the wild crossover territory of G.I. Joe and the Transformers. Three of those appearances carry key-issue weight with collectors, a testament to how memorable a mark Junkyard has left on the franchise. For fans who love the texture and personality that supporting characters bring to a long-running series, Junkyard is exactly the kind of discovery that makes digging through a long run so rewarding.
