Description

Did you know that back in the '80s Stephen King collaborated with his son, Owen, on a GI Joe character? It's true! They named him Crystal Ball and sent their thoughts to Hasbro who, of course, ended up making the toy. We're joined by Larry Hama, the mind behind the GI Joe comics, the creator of all your favorite Joe characters like Snake Eyes, The Baroness, and Storm Shadow, and all around legend to talk about his love of King's work, working with the character Steve and Owen created, and all about his process in creating the iconic characters that dominated the childhoods of Gen X and Elder Millennials.
