We’ve already featured the first issue of the short-lived from 1987. This cover showcases the Defiant and the Joes with guns ablaze in a very evocative art style. It’s too bad the coloring in the foreground is so dominated by muzzle fire coloring.
Comic book covers often utilize exaggerated and fanciful depictions of scale for effect. I thought that was the case here, but apparently that's meant to be an actual tiny Hawk in danger of being flattened by the comparatively huge fist of Cobra Commander. Guess I should have read the title…
Yes folks, the first Hasbro GI Joe comic was released in 1964 to coincide with the new toys. What makes it Hasbro specific? Just look at that figure in the title; he looks similar in pose to the package art. Gi Joe ads can often be found advertised in DC…
I still remember reading issue #2 of the GI Joe comic, when the team first ran afoul of Kwinn, who would go on to become an early favorite character in the comic--wait, oh this the second issue of the DC GI Joe series. Oops, sorry for the mix-up. Once again,…

Awesome G.I. Joe comic book cover from 1987. Maybe that’s why I like it a lot. Or could it be because I got me a loose Defiant about a year ago. That thing is beautiful.

I always passed up the chances to get these 3D issues. I was more into the regular Marvel line and Special Missions.

I vaguely remember this. But, the high cover price and non Marvel continuity made it a non starter for me. Is the story any good?

Nice cover
Who’s the guy manning the duel barrelled cannon?
Hardtop.
Neat, I’ve never seen this!
Kinda Neil Adamsy.
