History Creator / LarryHama

* ''[[ComicBook/MortTheDeadTeenager]]''

* ActionFigureFileCard: This trope exists because of Hama. When he was asked to write the ''Franchise/GIJoe'' comic, he kept track of the [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters large cast]] by creating dossiers for each character. Creator/{{Hasbro}} execs liked the dossiers and put them on the toy packages, other lines from Hasbro and its competitors [[FollowTheLeader followed suit]], and a trend was born.

* ObligatoryWarCrimeScene

* ''[[ComicBook/ImmortalIronFist Marvel Premiere: Iron Fist]]'' (penciller)

* ''[=SpyHunter=]/Paperboy'' (DC Comics mini-series based on [[VideoGame/SpyHunter two classic]] VideoGame/{{Paperboy}} arcade games]])

* ''WesternAnimation/{{COPS}}'' (character profiles)

* CreatorCameo: The head sculpt for the ''GIJoe'' action figure "Tunnel Rat" is based on Hama. This was done by the toy developers as a tribute.

* ActionGirl: Hama's women are almost always strong and independent. His portrayal of female Joes in ''GIJoe'' helped the comic attract a large female readership.

* {{Deuteragonist}}: [[GIJoe Destro]] being the most famous example.

* FromNobodyToNightmare: A recurring theme; [[GIJoe Cobra Commander]] was originally a used-car salesman, and [[ComicBook/NthManTheUltimateNinja Alfie O'Megan]] started off as an orphan.
* GloriousMotherRussia: Often played for laughs, especially with the KGB Swallows from ''[[ComicBook/NthManTheUltimateNinja Nth Man]]'' and the Oktober Guard from ''GIJoe''.

* PunnyName: Often done with civilian names, such as an Arctic trooper named [[http://www.u-s-history.com/pages/h230.html Farley Seward]] or a Hovercraft pilot named [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stone_skipping Skip A. Stone]].

* ''Peter Porker: The Spectacular Spider-Ham'' (editor)

* ''The 'Nam'' (editor)
