Wendell A. Metzger

Wendell A. Metzger stepped onto the page in 1986, born from the creative partnership of Larry Hama and Rod Whigham in the landmark G.I. Joe, a Real American Hero — one of Marvel's most beloved action franchises of the Copper Age. Over nearly four decades, this character has kept remarkable company, sharing adventures with fan favorites like Leatherneck, Roadblock, Flint, and Dashiell R. Faireborn across titles including Action Force Monthly and the long-running G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero. With 32 catalog appearances and at least one collector-significant key issue to his name, Metzger is a rewarding find for dedicated fans who love digging into the deeper roster of one of comics' great military universes. If you're building a complete G.I. Joe run, he's exactly the kind of character that makes the hunt worthwhile.
