The G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero Silent Missions one-shots will feature the work of talented creators, including Phil Hester, DANI, Dan Watters, Leonardo Romero, Andrew Krahnke, and Wes Craig. To celebrate the Silent Missions month, Skybound will release the Silent Missions edition of "Silent Interlude," G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero #21, which includes a new letter from Hama, on April 2. The publisher's description reads, "One of the most important comic books ever returns! Experience the groundbreaking "Silent Interlude" from writer/artist Larry Hama!

G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero – Beach Head #1 will also arrive on April 2 and "in the standalone silent issue from Phil Hester (Green Arrow), fan-favorite Beach Head is trapped in a DMZ and hunted by the forces of Cobra. But can Beach Head save himself and the war orphans he's vowed to protect?"

The issue from DANI (Arkham City: The Order of the World) and Dan Watters (Destro, Universal Monsters: Creature from the Black Lagoon Lives!) "puts the iconic G.I.

G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero – Spirit #1 will hit comic shelves on April 16. Skybound's description reads, "In the issue from Leonardo Romero (Birds of Prey), the iconic G.I.

Finally, on April 30, G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero – Duke #1 from Wes Craig (Kaya, Deadly Class) will see Duke trek "through Cobra-infested terrain to find his target – a traitor who's joined the enemy. Can Duke do the unthinkable to complete his mission?"

Skybound's Celebrates Larry Hama's Iconic "Silent Interlude"

Antone continued, "While this event is inspired by Larry Hama and Steve Leialoha’s original masterpiece, each issue is singular in its approach and showcases the unique strengths of these incredible artists."
