Mikhail P. Gorky

Mikhail P. Gorky stepped onto the page in 1990, introduced by the legendary Larry Hama and M. D. Bright in the landmark G.I. Joe, a Real American Hero #101 — a Copper Age debut that planted him firmly in one of comics' most beloved military universes. Over a surprisingly durable span stretching all the way to 2022, he's kept remarkable company, sharing adventures with icons like Snake-Eyes, Shana O'Hara, and Lt. Daina across the G.I. Joe titles. His appearance count is modest, which makes him a genuine deep-cut discovery for the devoted collector — the kind of character who rewards fans who dig past the household names into the rich, lived-in world Hama built issue by issue.
