Who is David L. Katzenbogen?

Debuting in the pages of Larry Hama and Rod Whigham's G.I. Joe, a Real American Hero #44 back in 1986, David L. Katzenbogen is a Copper Age original who has quietly accumulated an impressive 38-year presence in the G.I. Joe universe. With 41 catalog appearances spanning not just the flagship Marvel series but also Action Force Monthly and G.I. Joe European Missions, this is a character whose reach extended across continents and comics markets. Three of those appearances carry key-issue weight, making Katzenbogen genuinely worth tracking down for the serious collector. He shares his adventures with some of the most iconic names in the franchise — Bazooka, Hawk, Scarlett, and Flint among them — placing him squarely in the heart of the action wherever the story demands it.

Trivia

Bazooka proved marketable enough to earn a second life in the Tiger Force sub-line, a real-world testament to just how long-lived and collectible the character remained well beyond his original comic appearances.en.wikipedia.org
