Blaine L. Parker

Blaine L. Parker stepped onto the scene in 1987's G.I. Joe in 3-D #2, arriving in the thick of the Copper Age when the franchise was at the height of its cultural momentum. With nearly four decades of appearances across G.I. Joe and G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero, this is a character with genuine staying power in one of comics' most beloved military universes. Parker keeps distinguished company — sharing pages with heavy hitters like Hawk, Duke, and Conrad S. Hauser — which speaks to a presence woven right into the heart of the action. With 60 catalog appearances and at least one key issue to their name, Parker is a rewarding find for the dedicated G.I. Joe collector hunting deeper into the roster.
