Nicholas D. Klas

Stepping onto the scene in the Copper Age classic G.I. Joe in 3-D #2 (1987), Nicholas D. Klas is one of those quietly enduring figures in the G.I. Joe universe, brought to life by creators John Stephenson and E. R. Cruz. With a catalog presence stretching all the way to 2017 — spanning IDW's beloved G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero continuity — he's kept some seriously distinguished company, sharing pages with the likes of Hawk, Conrad S. Hauser, and Clayton M. Abernathy. Rare appearances and a key-issue credit make him a genuine find for the dedicated G.I. Joe completist hunting the corners of a franchise that never stops rewarding deep dives.
