Chi Interview - Marvel GI Joe Colorist & Bench Press - live from JoeFest
Brand new episode- previously available only as a Patreon exclusive!
Funny moments of happenstance happen on the floor of a convention like JoeFest. One such moment was when I bumped into Josh Eggebeen at the After Action Report booth, and he told me that I had to talk to a guy that they had been talking to - it was Chi Wang, who not only coloured Marvel's final few GI joe comics, but was also one half of Bench Press Studios - who had very nearly launched a GI Joe comic in the late 90s,a little before Devil's Due succeeded in obtaining the license.
Chia-Chi Wang (born 1975 in Taipei, Taiwan) is a comic book creator. In the early '90s, he worked on a freelance basis coloring for Marvel Comics, significantly coloring the final run on G.I. Joe with a run on 149 - 155 and the Todd McFarlane GI Joe Special. In the late '90s, he teamed up with fellow Marvel artist Benny Powell to form Bench Press Studios, which at one point planned to publish G.I. Joe and Transformers comics.
After Action report volume 2 has an Interview with Benny Powell covering his side of the failed attempt by Bench Press to launch a GI Joe comic.
