Joe-A-Day: Darklon....

Alright, I gotta throw my hands up on this one. I had no idea who Darklon was when I was told to draw this guy for the GI JOE Battleground game. I mean from it's original 1982 inception there have been 528 GI JOE characters created....So I gotta say I'm not going to sweat not knowing a few.

However, the one thing I remembered about this guy is way back when I had drawn a cover for Devil's Due America's Elite #33 where I drew every Cobra character created to that point...I HATED drawing this Darklon helmet. I had no idea who this guy was, but MAN his helmet was a tough nut to crack.

Then again for the WWIII event for Devil's Due I was tasked with designing the "Plague" group of Cobra characters. Again, it was a basic design across the group but they retained their original helmet or head pieces, and this Darklon helmet was a bane to draw.

A third time this character strikes to defeat me, but finally I was able to break this helmet down, work it out and it really wasn't that difficult this time around.

Darklon..I still don't have a clue who you are and I have no desire to find out... and your gun is weird.
