JoeFest Welcomes Special Guest Adam Riches

For those of you heading to JoeFest next weekend, heads up! The one and only Adam Riches will be in attendance!

As the G.I.Joe community has exploded in size due to the popularity of the G.I.Joe Classified Series, Adam has put together a list of items that he’s worked on…and talk about impressive! Here’s the scoop –

G.I. Joe fans!!! We are exactly 1 week away from the start of the 2023 JoeFest Toy & Comic Show, and to say I’m looking forward to it would be a massive understatement! It’s been nearly 3 years since my last G.I. Joe show, during which time the Joe brand has gained a lot of new fans thanks to the tons of exciting product being released. As such, I wanted to put together a little list to help familiarize any newer collectors of all the G.I. Joe items I’ve worked on over the last decade, but then I realized…it’s not such a little list anymore!

So if you’re collecting my work, or wanting to get anything signed at the show, here is a list of what to look for/bring to my booth!

Of course, I will also have a wide variety of comics and art prints of my Joe work available at the show, and will be doing a limited number of on-site commission sketches. So if you’ve always wanted an original sketch of your favorite Joe or Cobra character from yours truly, now’s your chance. Be sure to find me early in the show to secure your spot on my list!

I can’t wait to hang with all my friends and fellow G.I. Joe fanatics next week in Augusta, GA!

Yo Joe!!!
