Who is Shockwave?

Shockwave is a G.I. Joe operative who debuted in 1988, serving alongside team stalwarts like Duke and Flint in Hasbro's military action universe. He functions as a SWAT specialist within the elite counter-terrorism unit known as G.I. Joe.

Shockwave stormed onto the page in 1988, a product of the Copper Age's action-packed sensibility, brought to life by the legendary G.I. Joe architect Larry Hama and artist Ron Wagner in G.I. Joe, a Real American Hero #80. Over a remarkable 34-year span across multiple G.I. Joe series, this character has proven a durable presence in one of comics' most beloved military action universes, sharing adventures with heavy hitters like Duke, Flint, and Dashiell "Flint" Faireborn. Whether you're a longtime Joe collector or just discovering the depth of Devil's Due Publishing's contributions to the franchise, Shockwave is a satisfying find — a character with real staying power in a world where only the toughest endure.
