Hey everyone! Remember that amazing cover that Adam Riches did for IDW‘s G.I.Joe #212? Yes, the one with every Cobra character on it? (the same one pictured above? ;) ), well check this out! Adam was kind enough to share word that a limited edition print of the cover is now being offered to the masses by our friends at Emerald City Comics!
The offering will be a limited edition run of 250 prints based on their exclusive G.I. Joe A Real American Hero #212 cover that Adam illustrated.
Each print is signed and numbered, measures 11×14 and is printed on a heavy archival card stock. These prints were made directly from Adams original art proof, so the color is 100% accurate! Not only that, but you get the full art unobstructed and with full bleed, so all those Crimson Guards at the bottom, Annihilators’ helicopter blades, etc. are now fully visible in print for the first time.
This print debuted a couple of weeks ago at the Tampa Bay Comic Con, and already sold through quite a few, so if you’ve wanted a print of this art don’t wait too long, because Emerald City Comics is the only source to get it, and this is the only print run of these they’re doing!
The prints are $20 each (plus shipping) for anyone interested, here’s the link to purchase –

I haven't picked up any comics in a while but I think this issue has sparked the love back in me.
Issue #212 The Death Of Snake Eyes
It features nearly every villain character in G.I. Joe history…280 individual characters total (the most ever published in a single G.I. Joe illustration), and between all the research and drawing took just over a month to complete. Each book will shipped bagged and boarded and includes a custom backboard with a numbered checklist of each character on the cover.
It is currently scheduled for release in mid-March (will update when I have a concrete release date), but it is available for pre-order RIGHT NOW at the links below!
To celebrate G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero’s landmark issue #212 The Death of Snake-Eyes (pt. 1) Emerald City Comics has partnered with IDW Publishing to create this limited edition variant cover, which acts a companion piece to 2007’s G.I. Joe: America’s Elite #25 (which featured the G.I. Joe hero roster).
This cover is the definitive G.I. Joe’s rouges gallery, featuring nearly every enemy the G.I. Joe team has faced over their 33 year history. With characters representing all eras of G.I. Joe, from the toy lines (ARAH, Sgt. Savage, Extreme, Built To Rule, Sigma 6), cartoons (Sunbow, DiC), movies (ROC, Retaliation) and comics (Marvel, DDP, IDW)!

Ultra cool!

Poor Fred.

Sweet! I'm gonna get this. I'd love to see this in poster form some day.
JediJones says
Cool. Sucks that they're charging $20 for it. $10 would've been more reasonable.
Not recognizing some of them around the top middle. Who is the chick at the very top in the middle showing the cleavage?

Looks like she went to the school of hard knockers...
