General Austin

General Austin is a military officer who appears in the earliest days of the G.I. Joe team, serving in a command capacity during the unit's formation and initial operations against the Cobra organization.

General Austin made his mark right at the very beginning — debuting in the landmark first issue of G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero in 1982, the Bronze Age launch that Larry Hama and Don Perlin turned into one of Marvel's most beloved action franchises. Across more than four decades of publication, he's kept distinguished company, sharing pages with iconic figures like Scarlett, Snake-Eyes, and Breaker. With two key-issue appearances to his name and a presence that stretches from 1982 all the way to 2024, General Austin is a piece of living comics history — the kind of character that rewards the dedicated collector who digs deeper into the rich military tapestry of the G.I. Joe universe.
