Recondo

Recondo is a G.I. Joe jungle trooper who first appeared in Marvel's G.I. Joe, A Real American Hero #32 (1985). A specialist in jungle warfare and survival, he joined the elite G.I. Joe team as an expert infiltrator trained to operate in remote, hostile environments.

Stepping out of the jungle and onto the page in 1985, Recondo made his debut in the landmark G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero #32, brought to life by the legendary Larry Hama and Frank Springer during comics' Bronze Age. Over four decades of publication — a remarkable span stretching all the way to 2025 — this character has remained a fixture across multiple series, sharing adventures with heavy hitters like Snake-Eyes, Hawk, and Roadblock. With three key collector issues to his name and appearances in crossover events like G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero vs. The Six Million Dollar Man, Recondo is the kind of deep-cut fan favorite who rewards the dedicated reader willing to dig through the long boxes.
