The lost books
I get asked a lot about the G.I. Joe lost books; I wanted to show the net some of that amazing works from my research. Also shedding light on where they can get copies of these books. As a G.I. Joe collector and specializing on the lost books (and there are many), I had collected many unproduced works of G.I. Joe comics.
Some of this I have talked about in After Action Report book series, I highly recommend for any comic collector. It is a deep dive into the comic collecting for Joe fans.

Today we talk about Cold Comfort (Resolute comics issue)
Written by Larry Hama
Pencils by Diego Jourdan Pereira

Colors by Miguel S Marques da Silva

This issue was planned for release in a 2009 comic pack featuring "Arctic" versions of Scarlett and Cobra Commander. The Comic Pack was cancelled.
A Preview was shared at comicmix.com to promote the DVD release of G.I. Joe: Resolute

Here you will find the color pages of the whole story. In an article for the new collectors club I interviewed the letter on these books. That will release in the news letters of said club.

My subscription series
We put out a subscription based project that collected all the comic works done by fans. Cobra the Enemy spans over a 20 plus years of fan work. As an incentive we offered printed comics of the lost books to help promote the project. Buying a year’s worth of Cobra the Enemy or the Millerverse we threw in a lost books.
We call it a fan book for fans by fans. This is an archiving effort; some of the stories are done by amateurs and other by professionals all fans of Joe.
You can support the effort and get copies here

The poster cover is a Wa Bo tribe warriors and main two characters cover. We did do this as a wraparound cover, but will be releasing that for issue #2 as wraparound cover offering as its better for that issue than for issue #1.
