A Rob Hanes Adventures Refresher


With the 25th issue of Rob Hanes Adventures recently released, it’s a perfect time to re-introduce the series to readers both long term and new to the world of Rob Hanes Adventures!

Following in the footsteps of the great adventure comic strips like Milton Caniff's Terry and the Pirates and Noel Sickles' Scorchy Smith but set in the modern day, Rob is a globetrotting troubleshooter for Justice International, a security, intelligence and private investigation agency—some call them spies and mercenaries for hire. As one of JI's newest agents, Rob's conscience and sense of fair play often put him at odds with JI's old guard.

Every story is self-contained, so readers can jump in with any issue! Each issue, Rob often finds himself in the middle of an adventure ripped from the headlines, filled with danger and intrigue, but also laced with humor and romance. The series also has crossed into other genres, ranging from drawing room murder mysteries, sports, to straight comedy and romance. (In issue 25, he even travels back in time to 1930s pre-war Asia!)

In 2018, series creator Randy Reynaldo received the Inkpot Award for Achievements in Comic Art from the San Diego Comic-Con.

With 25 issues to date (and stories that predate the current run), the series has built a deep supporting cast that include sidekicks, old flames and foes that will be highlighted in upcoming posts!

These posts about the characters, storylines and universe of Rob Hanes Adventures will be posted under the label at this blog RHAUniverse. To learn more and to order an issue (or more), visit wcgcomics.com!
