How a Ļć½¶Šć Alum Ended Up in G.I. JoeĀ
The beloved comic turned out to be the perfect medium for an important message.
As VP of global publishing at Hasbro, Michael Kelly ā94 may never have imagined thereād be an opportunity to collaborate with his old Boston College Chorale buddy David Shapiro ā95, the chief medical officer at St. Francis Hospital in Connecticut. But when Shapiro became involved with the American College of Surgeonsā Stop the Bleed Campaign, which seeks to teach bystanders basic techniques to stem bleeding in the event of an accident, he reached out to Kelly with a creative idea: Why not integrate the campaign into a G.I. Joe comic? Kelly, whose company publishes the comic book, loved the idea, and now, in its three hundredth issue, readers can learn the three-step process from a āDr. David Scott.ā Shapiro said he was ājoyfully surprisedā to end up as a character in G.I. Joeāhe may be the first Ļć½¶Šć alum to have the honor.
