Des Moines is the home town of GI Joe artist Ron J. Wagner and he is a regular attendee at the show. Tim and I had the privilege of meeting Ron in person, finding an empty echoey conference room and recording an interview.

Ron will be well known to fans of GI joe comics - especially his classic Marvel comics run of GI Joe 57-76 which covered the The Fred VII as Cobra commander era, Cobra Civil War, plus covers for the main run as well as Special missions, a silent issue in Yearbook 3, a silent prelude to issue 21 that appeared in the Devils Due Snake Eyes Declassified TPB + then returning at IDW for several issues 163,166, 173, 186, Annual 1 as well as for multiple covers

Beyond GI Joe, Ron has drawn for titles such as G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero, The Punisher, Nth Man: The Ultimate Ninja, and Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight.
