Having done 20 out of the 21 covers for GI JOE: Origins, Tom Feister certainly has had one heck of a ride. This cover, GI JOE: Origins #21, gives off a more propaganda feel, like the previous #20 issue did. Though not in the usual WWII-style of posters, the cover of #21, Feister was trying to convey classic American illustrators, especially J. C. Leyendecker
“The idea was, what would it look like if Leyendecker did a Cobra recruitment poster,” Feister told Blog@. “I did my take on Chinese propaganda for the last issue, but I wanted something here that would make Cobra seem appealing, seem almost American.”
With two more covers on the way until the series concludes, I have no doubt Feister will blow Joe fans away.
