Joseph R. Balkun

A soldier stepping onto the battlefield in the thick of Devil's Due Publishing's early 2000s run on G.I. Joe, Joseph R. Balkun made his debut in 2003 alongside some of the franchise's most iconic names — Snake-Eyes, Destro, Hawk, and Conrad S. Hauser among them. Created by a talented team including Josh Blaylock, Tim Seeley, and Brandon Jerwa, he's a Modern Age entry into one of comics' most beloved military universes. His appearances are rare, making those few issues genuine finds for the dedicated G.I. Joe completist hunting every corner of the Devil's Due era.
