What happened to the Bench Press G.I.Joe comic?
In the spring of 1999, stories abounded online that a new G.I.Joe was going to be released from fledgling comic book company, Bench Press Studios. Between the Fall of 1998 and January of 2000, Bench Press Studios was furiously working on releasing two new G.I.Joe comic books – both scripted by Larry Hama – that would continue the original storylines started with the Marvel G.I.Joe comic books. Sadly, the deal fell through for a variety of reasons, Hasbro decided not to let Bench Press do the comic book, and Bench Press Studios went out of business.
