Listed and pictured here are issues # 1 and 3 of the Devil’s Due Publishing mini-series “DREADNOKS DECLASSIFIED”. This series was published in 2007 and featured a story by Devil’s Due founder Joshua Blaylock. IMHO, it’s one of his finest G.I. Joe related moments - and he spends these moments bridging the gap between the comic book, toy, ad cartoon origin stories for Zartan, and somehow really makes it work.
The issues featured here are the rare “Prestige Edition variants” - sporting amazing covers by Francis Manapul. These are rarer than the A covers and have been highly sought after from time to time. Below is a description of each issue (and estimated conditions for the ones in this listing) via Devil’s Due themselves:
