First look: In-hand copy of The Art of G.I.JOE: A Real American Hero!

Come see the entire book at JoeFest! Just look for the Joe Declassified booth and you can flip through all 712 pages.

[@Shark_Eyes]

The art jumps off the page, just like it did when you saw the packaging back in the day. Phenomenal, Carson. Thank you for your efforts, dedication and the minutes, hours, days, months and years you've put into the project.

[@3djoes]

Much love to Chad Hucal for helping me to restore every image. We’ve “crushed the blacks” and increased saturation just a touch to combat the effects of aging. The art looks better than ever!

[@LittleKidsBigKids]

AWEsome! I can't wait to get mine. This looks incredible. Congratulations!

[@gijoeycrafts]

I can't wait to get mine! I love your site. I use it as my main resource for all my Joe needs. Great job and congrats!

[@salamurai]

Looks great Carson! the book itself has become a genuine work of art, beyond some mere collection of pictures.

[@larsontown]

[@keithstone7323]

I just found your website by watching one of Michael Mercy's videos where he mentioned 3DJoes. I can't believe I never saw the Kickstarter! Amazing work. I'll be pre-ordering one of these.

[@3djoes]

Michael is the best! Nerdmaste 🙂

[@MikelRChannel]

Magnificent! An achievement!

[@mihalyszenasi1983]

Amazingly beautiful and really hard work! I'm so happy to see this coming together so nicely, can't wait for my copy. Thank you for all of you hard work! Greetings from Hungary 🤗

[@3djoes]

Thank you for your support! We’ve done it right, and I couldn’t be happier with the final product.

[@rallogump]

Yo Joe!

[@mrroper7973]

Wow! My mind is blown! This thing really tugs at my heart strings I can’t wait to get my copy. Thanks for all the hard work 3-D Joe’s💪🏽🙏🏽👊🏽

[@3djoes]

Thank you for supporting our efforts!

[@frommymind4639]

You don't know how long I've wanted something like this! Only that would make it better would be if the pages were loose so you could choose to hang them up like art.

[@3djoes]

I truly think some folks will cut out and hang some of the gatefold spreads. At minimum, the dust jacket!

[@bt76]

Joes for life ❤

[@LexxAKonn]

Such an amazing job you guys are doing. Cannot wait to crack this open when it arrives!!

[@Vincent-396]

Fantastic work, gang. I cannot wait to receive this amazing book. All of your hard work has paid off. It looks stunning! Have fun at Joefest.

[@jch417]

Beautiful does not begin to describe it. Thank you, Carson and crew for all your hard work on this. As a process and print junkie this has been a great ride to be witness to. Yo Joe!

[@3djoes]

Thanks for joining us on the ride!

[@funken079]

Is Snake Eyes your favorite G.I. Joe character? Who are your top 10 favorite G.I. Joes and your top 10 favorite Cobras?

[@aawolvea]

I placed an order for the omnibus on January 1st, when might I expect to receive it? Looking forward to it!

[@3djoes]

Shipping out next week! Books arrived at Fulfillrite yesterday.

[@MadSUPANOVA]

Obsession

[@3djoes]

Indeed!

[@mamunestor]

So glad I could support this through to this point. I wanted the HC complete book back when you started this. I’m glad we had to wait, to make it this epic. The TPB I have are awesome, but this will be epic. Thank you for the dedication to this project. Sorry I couldn’t make Joefest this year. Anniversary weekend, 15 years, and a ton of other stuff. Have a great time.

[@3djoes]

We learned a LOT along the way! Chad and I decided to re-shoot, re-scan, and re-edit all of 1982-1985 to bring it up to speed with our volumes 3-6 work. It was well worth it to do the softcovers first to get better, and also to build the audience over time. THANK YOU for being with us from day 1, and congrats on 15 years!

[@LordZolric]

Does this include the Joe's from other countries.. like the ones from Argentina? This is awesome either way.

[@3djoes]

This 712 page tome only features one gatefold spread at the end that shows a sampling of international work. We do show line art from the Argen7 on that spread :-)

[@Rhett-Christopher]

What is the target date for shipping for initial backers?

[@3djoes]

I'll be sad if they're not here for Christmas. I'm working with the printer now to deliver files and nail down delivery timing.

[@carrion_man3700]

Yeeessss.....

[@chadhill9612]

Man, this looks incredible. How long with it be available? I have some obligations that prevent me from buying it now.

[@3djoes]

I’ve invested heavily to insure that folks will be able to buy this book for many months or possibly years to come!
