Albert M. Pine

Born into the pages of Larry Hama and Rod Whigham's G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero #45 in 1986, Albert M. Pine is a Copper Age fixture of one of Marvel's most beloved action franchises, rubbing shoulders with iconic figures like Snake-Eyes, Hawk, and Alpine across nearly four decades of comics. With 29 catalogued appearances spanning all the way to 2025, Pine has quietly proven himself a durable presence in the G.I. Joe universe — the kind of character who keeps serious fans digging through long boxes. One of his appearances even carries key-issue status, making him a rewarding find for collectors who know where to look.
