DESCRIPTION
Mike Vosburg breakdowns/Jon D'Agostino finishes; page 18; 1983; image size 10" x 15"
1st appearance of Duke and Roadblock!Duke and Roadblock take down a Cobra Rattler, in their first appearance which was published around the same time as the debut of the television cartoon. Both would go on to become fan favorites in both the comics, cartoon and toy line. This issue marked the end of an era of G.I. Joe, and the beginning of a new one. It is the end of a storyline that has continued for quite some time. The end of the strictly khaki green, military realism that defined the G.I. Joe team for it's first couple of years. From here on in, the Joes would become much more specialized. Excellently portrayed by Vosburg and D'Agostino. Pen and ink. Art is in in excellent condition.
Artists Information
John P. D'Agostino, was an Italian-American comic-book artist best known for his Archie Comics work. As well, under the pseudonym Johnny Dee, he was the letterer for the lead story in the Marvel Comics landmark The Amazing Spider-Man No. 1 (March 1963), as well as other seminal Marvel comics. By 1990, D'Agostino was exclusively inking for Archie, on teen-humor stories for such titles as Archie's Pals 'N' Gals, Jughead's Time Police, Hot Dog, Explorers of the Unknown, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, and the video game licensed comic Sonic the Hedgehog.
Mike Vosburg is an American comic book artist primarily known for his work on the Tales from the Crypt TV series. Mike Vosburg’s comics career began in the 1960’s, when as a teenager he started Masquerader, one of the first comic book fanzines. He began working in underground comics in the 1970’s, with creations such as Split Screen, written by Tom Veitch. Later in the 1970’s & 1980’s, Vosburg contributed to horror titles by Western Publishing and Charlton Comics. His story “Mail Order Brides” published in Kitchen Sink Press’s Bizarre Sex #3, was in a similar horror/mystery vein. Around this time, Vosburg also did various work for DC Comics and Marvel Comics. He is probably best known for his work from that period on Savage She-Hulk, Sisterhood of Steel, and G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero. He also worked on the Valiant Comics’ titles Bloodshot and Archer & Armstrong. From 1989 to 1996, for the TV series Tales from the Crypt, Vosburg illustrated comic book covers designed to look like the original 1950’s comics. Originally hired to do concept drawings for the wraparound sequence, Vosburg ended up storyboarding the title segment as well as illustrating many book covers used in the show’s 93 episodes. While Vosburg still does occasional comics work such as covers and pinups, or his self-published Lori Lovecraft books, most of his time is currently devoted to television and film. He has done storyboarding work for such directors as John Frankenheimer, Robert Zemeckis, Allan Arkush, and Gilbert Adler; on projects as diverse as David Mamet’s The Water Engine, the Elian Gonzalez Story, Prince Charming, and Demon Knight. He has also done storyboarding for music videos, such as “Stan” and “Let Me Blow Ya Mind.”
