Let's read some G.I.Joe.
>>
>>83986614
Some technical flavor-text before the main event.
>>
>>83986614
This is the best comic ever. How much are you going to post?
>>
>>83986640
Here we go. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5BXCEidjiI
>>83986650
As much as I can.
>>
>>83986714
Trimpes art starts out shakey but he really comes into his own with special missions.
>>
You just doing this one thread?
>>
>>83986714
I always liked "GOT TO GET TOUGH".
>>
>>83986785
[insert metal gear joke]
>>83986797
My plan was to do it in 10 issue chunks, but we'll see how things play out.
>>
>>83986869
Here's the original 13 Joes. They're certainly a lot more subdued than later designs.
>>
>>83986907
Not that that's a bad thing.
>>
>>83986841
So this'll be a regular thing?
>>
>>83986982
>>83986993
I'm hoping so now that I have a lot of free time and scans of the entire series.
>>
FFS people keep this bumped. EVERYONE on /co/ should read this.
>>
>>83987065
Welcome to cobra island.
Also the original design for Cobra Commander is stellar.
>>
>>83987194
So who's your favorite Joe /co/? Mine's Shipwreck.
>>
>>83987213
Snake Eyes is such an obvious answer that it's practically cliché, but he really is a badass as fuck dude.
>>
>>83987249
>>83987249
You're not wrong.
>>
>>83987273
Who's not wrong? About what?
>>
>>83987334
>>83987336
Anon wasn't wrong about Snakeyes being badass.
>>
>>83986841
Fulton extraction, back in the 80's!
>>
>>83987461
Don't touch that dial kids, we've got a double length issue right here!

But lets take a look at the pit first before the next story.
>>
If you don't read G.I. Joe you're literally a faggot.
>>
>>83987518
To my knowledge this story hasn't been reprinted in any of the classic joe collections.
>>
>>83987614
The art in this issue is... lacking slightly.
>>
>>83987647
It does lead to some great out of context panels however.
>>
>not reading this
>>
>>83987684
I just realized I have no idea what the image limit is for a thread. Guess we'll cross that bridge when we come it it.
>>
>>83987647
Can't all be winners. We've got some good stuff to look forward to especially if you plan on doing the yearbooks
Also I was really surprised at how good of an artist Larry Hama could be when he would draw the occasional issue
>>
>>83987714
The Yearbooks were awesome.
>>
>>83987734
"Don't worry; I brought myfucking suicide pistol.
>>83987714
Actually I've still to read the yearbooks, but now I'm intrigued.
>>
>>83987714
Hama's a legit talented guy as long as he's not writing superheroes.
>>
>>83987801
>>83987810
His foreword in Weapon X is a good read. I get the idea he really doesn't like capes.
>>
>>83987869
And now; character profiles.
>>
>>83987810
I like his Wolverine with Mark Texeira
>>
>>83987843
I'd be surprised if he was into the genre given how rarely he worked on it, and when he did he was clearly phoning it in. His brief Punisher run was crap and his Generation X was one of the worst runs on a X book ever.
>>
>>83987892
AWESOME pic.
>>
>>83987915
Breaker is underrated.
>>
>>83987988
>>83988000
I'm glad he got to work on Joe for as long as he did, it was clearly something he enjoyed more than working on cape books.
>>
>>83988053
MOBAT>HISS
>>
>>83987936
Flash will always be a weird character to me. He was one of the most purely "borderline sci-fi" characters out of the original roster.
>>
>>83987988
One of the best characters in the entire franchise. You could tell Hama dug him because he used him all the time.
>>
>>83988104
That's it for issue 1 folks. Let's take a little trip to the arctic.
>>83988149
Stalker is based.
>>
>>83988327
RIDER KICK!
>>
Fun Larry Hama fact. He's a gang member in The Warriros
>>
>>83988398
>>83988396
In the film? No way.
>>
>>83988440
Here comes a miniboss.
>>
>>83987065
I remember as a small child reading this, and being amazed, about the idea of soldiers fighting, not just for government and people who they liked, but for the rights of people who don't like them at all.
>>
>>83988536
Breaker sure looks like Dial-tone with that new gear.
>>83988541
For a series based on a toyline (in the 80s no less) G.I.Joe sure didn't pull any punches when it came to subject matter.

Wild Bill.
>>
>>83988396
>>83988440
Yeah, he appears as an extra.
>>
>>83988184
This is THE best issue of the series ever.
>>
AAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWW YYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH TIME FOR KWINN THE MOTHERFUCKING ESKIMO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>
>>83988784
>>83988786
I really like issue 21 and 34 myself but issue 2 is a real winner for sure.
>>
>>83988920
Lets keep it going. Issue 3 is a weird one.
>>
>>83989042
I should buy a pass I guess.
>>
>>83989099
Because captcha can fuck right off.
>>
>>83989246
Oh shit it was the Iron Giant all along!
>>
>>83989356
Why Cobra didn't produce these robots en mass I'll never know.
>>
>>83987810
When they talk about diversity, at least one dude with actual combat experience is good to have, for the more millitary books.
>>
>>83987915
This reminds me of that one TF2 meet the cast short with the engineer.
>>
>>83989410
>>83989413
I know what you mean. I always dug the world of TF2 way more than the actual game. But those short films about the characters were always great.
>>
>>83989482
And that's issue 3 folks. I'll return with more Joe soon. I've got a minor situation here.
>>
>>83989538
Bump
>>
Thank you Cobranon
>>
>>83988000
I recall that he actually wanted to do more than just GI. Joe, but pretty much never got to. Whether this was because the higher ups didn't believe in him, whether he sucked at it, whether they wanted to milk the hot property as much as they could, is a mystery.
>>
>>83988358
So, why does hesit in the isolation tank?
>>83988396
CANNNN YOU DIG IT!
>>
>>83988609
"Highly motivated individual", is a euphamisim for lone wolf nutcase, ala Mcveigh, the florida shooter, Cho, ect.
>>
>>83989079
People had a legit fear of nuclear war on their doorstep back then.
>>
>>83989382
Millitary budgets in this universe are based on toy sales. Obviously they didn't think the design woudl be profitable.
>>
>>83988396
Oh, shit.
>>
thanks OP
>>
So what's GI Joe been up to lately?
