Adam Riches recently illustrated a limited edition variant cover for IDW's G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero series, which features every villain character of the last 33 years of G.I. Joe history, 280 in total, 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).

Looks like IDW are trying to claim the Guinness World Record back from Marvel's Deadpool. A companion piece to 2007's G.I. Joe: America's Elite #25 (which featured the G.I. Joe hero roster) it is exclusive to Emerald City Comics. Each book will ship bagged and boarded, with a special custom backboard featuring a fully numbered checklist of all the characters on the cover.

The issue in question is #212, The Death of Snake-Eyes (pt. 1).

And Jim Rugg's Walking Dead cover variant art that went for $3000 on eBay…
