Some technical flavor-text before the main event.

This is the best comic ever. How much are you going to post?

Here we go. youtube.com/watch?v=I5BXCEidjiI
As much as I can.

Trimpes art starts out shakey but he really comes into his own with special missions.

...

You just doing this one thread?

I always liked "GOT TO GET TOUGH".

[insert metal gear joke]

My plan was to do it in 10 issue chunks, but we'll see how things play out.

...

Here's the original 13 Joes. They're certainly a lot more subdued than later designs.

Not that that's a bad thing.

...

...

So this'll be a regular thing?

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 Sup Forums should read this.

...

Welcome to cobra island.

Also the original design for Cobra Commander is stellar.

...

...

...

So who's your favorite Joe Sup Forums? Mine's Shipwreck.

...

Snake Eyes is such an obvious answer that it's practically cliché, but he really is a badass as fuck dude.

...

You're not wrong.

...

...

...

Who's not wrong? About what?

user wasn't wrong about Snakeyes being badass.

...

...

Fulton extraction, back in the 80's!

...

...

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.

To my knowledge this story hasn't been reprinted in any of the classic joe collections.

...

The art in this issue is... lacking slightly.

It does lead to some great out of context panels however.

>not reading this

...

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.

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

...

The Yearbooks were awesome.

"Don't worry; I brought my fucking suicide pistol.

Actually I've still to read the yearbooks, but now I'm intrigued.

Hama's a legit talented guy as long as he's not writing superheroes.

His foreword in Weapon X is a good read. I get the idea he really doesn't like capes.

...

And now; character profiles.

I like his Wolverine with Mark Texeira

...

...

...

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.

AWESOME pic.

Breaker is underrated.

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.

MOBAT>HISS

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.

One of the best characters in the entire franchise. You could tell Hama dug him because he used him all the time.

That's it for issue 1 folks. Let's take a little trip to the arctic.

Stalker is based.

...

...

...

...

RIDER KICK!

Fun Larry Hama fact. He's a gang member in The Warriros

...

In the film? No way.

Here comes a miniboss.

...

...

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.

Breaker sure looks like Dial-tone with that new gear.

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.

...

...

...

Yeah, he appears as an extra.

...

This is THE best issue of the series ever.

AAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWW YYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH TIME FOR KWINN THE MOTHERFUCKING ESKIMO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I really like issue 21 and 34 myself but issue 2 is a real winner for sure.

...

...

...

Lets keep it going. Issue 3 is a weird one.

...

...

...

I should buy a pass I guess.
