The New IDW/Hasbro Action Man Comic Gets A Spotlight In June

AM_01_cvrSUBI had an Action Man. Everyone did. The British renaming and repackaging for GI Joe… because no one knew what a GI Joe was – and they kept their full twelve inches rather than being shrunk down to an action figure line, as well. Their own back story based around the British special forces, that has now inspired a new comic book line courtesy of IDW and Hasbro.

A "rebirth" if you will. Here's the solicit in question for June. His first appearance however will be in the Rom #0 comic on Free Comic Book Day in May
