TALKING JOE 180 - LARRY HAMA Interview Oct 27, 2022

Show notes

Larry Hama Interview – Recorded 1st October 2022 Finally – Talking Joe has been able to speak with G.I. Joe legend Larry Hama! At the outset of Talking Joe we always thought picking the brains of the great man would be a show highlight, and he didn’t disappoint! We try our level best to ask some new questions for Larry so we skip past the sort of GI Joe #1 and #21 were created in this talk. You have the choice of an audio only version (with extra editing to clean up the audio and get rid of some pauses and pops etc and a bonus introductory jingle). Or the video version https://youtu.be/L5hyrQaLPQc · Early years at Marvel · New York & Larry’s favourite cup of coffee · Recent work drawing Breakdowns on DCs books · The inspiration for the voice of Cobra Commander · Exploring “what making it up as he goes along” really means, including approaching the IDW finale of issue 300. · His approach to “writing” · The origin of the I Ching Hexagram tattoo · The convention experience · The issue 21 Silent issue cover and Larry’s 40thAnniversary cover reinterpretation to “fix it”. · The origin of the Baroness · Thoughts on the IDW era, Dawn, new characters and representation. He really needs no introduction… Larry Hama is an American comic-book writer, artist, actor, and musician who has worked in the fields of entertainment and publishing since the 1960s. Most importantly he is the person who has been writing GI Joe comics starting with issue 1 in 1982, and has continued (on and off) to present day.
