IDW Publishing G.I. Joe Comic Artist Tom Whalen

Artist Tom Whalen is really showing off his skills these days and it seems that he has been dabbling in just about every hot pop culture trend. Not that is a bad thing his clean-cut geometric line style and bold primary and secondary colors still amaze me. So here I share with you one of Whalen’s pop culture concoction featuring the G.I. Joe team that was produced in 2011 created for IDW Publishing. Check out the art and some artist commentary below from Whalen.

Whalen on his work “As much as i loved comics and toys and animation as a child, it was the comics that had toys that had an animated series that spoke (yelled) the loudest to me. and none of those properties was more exciting than gi joe. the basic concept of military superheroes who fought a “ruthless terrorist organization determined to rule the world” was too much for my adolescent brain to handle. the endless hours spent reading those comics, playing with those toys and watching those animated episodes (sometimes simultaneously) had a profound effect on my imagination. I’m so thankful for the opportunity to revisit something that meant (means) so much to me.”
