‘G.I. Joe: Cold Slither’ Brings The Head Banging Band To Comics

G.I. JOE: Cold Slither #1 cover

Cold Slither, the hardest rocking band to ever sing about G.I. Joe, is coming to comics in the appropriately named G.I. JOE: Cold Slither #1. And it’ll be written by Tim Seeley, with art by Juann Cabal.

“The catchiest song ever to grace a military themed toy line has lived in my head rent-free for forty years, so I’m happy to drag it out, and write the true story of the scrappy band of miscreants who recorded it,” said Seeley via a press release.

Added Cabal, “My parents met at a Cold Slither gig back in the ’80s, so getting to draw this one-shot has been really special for me.”

In the book, you’ll discover the totally true story of what happened to Cold Slither (who are definitely not the Dreadnoks) when they started to top the charts, and only G.I. Joe could stop them.

“To say this face-melting issue was a labor of love is an understatement,” shouted Ben Abernathy, Executive Editor. “Getting this motley crew of creators together for this incisive and heartfelt look at the rise and fall of the legendary Cold Slither was a heavy metal dream come true!”
