Devil’s Due Offers Surprise Variant Cover By Aspen Studios: G.I.JOE #31

Order increase cut-off date: June 14th—Ship Date: June 30th

Devil’s Due Publishing would like to announce a surprise special cover for G.I. Joe issue #31, by Talent Caldwell and Aspen Studios. The image is to celebrate the debut of the three part back up story, Fantom, drawn by the studio, which introduces the new villain WRAITH to the series.

As stated in previous releases, Aspen’s 3 part BACK UP story runs from issue #31 to #33, with variants for #31 and #32 by Talent Caldwell, and #33 by Michael Turner.

While the former two covers are being solicited in Previews for items shipping in July and August respectively, the variant for issue #31 has only become available after orders for the other cover have been placed (items shipping in June). The goal is to create a highly collectible cover that retailers can order at the normal cover cost, while being fairly confident its secondary value will do well. Fans who wish to order the cover are highly recommended to reserve copies with their retailers as this is soon to become a highly sought after comic book.

WRAITH promises to test alliances and loyalties as he plays both sides of the fence, but is ultimately DESTRO’s own personal mercenary.

When asked about working with Devil's Due and helping to design Wraith, the new G.I. Joe character, Talent Caldwell said, "I'm really excited to be working on this project. I've always been a huge Joe fan, and being asked to design a new major character like this is really flattering. I've wanted to do some work on G.I. Joe for a while, and this special story wound up being the perfect fit. It's been a lot of fun and I hope everyone enjoys what we have in store for them!"

Devil’s Due Publishing continues to shake up the comic book world with creative storylines and artwork, and this collaboration with Aspen has just reinforced DDP’s commitment to bringing its fans the best and most unexpected creative material possible.

This item is only available as a Previews Update in the May 26th issue of Diamond Dateline, and is listed as APR045098 E GI JOE TALENT CALDWELL CVR #31 (PU #624).
