It was a good feeling finally completing the set. There are still a couple that I'd like to condition upgrade, but all the heavy lifting is done. I have a feeling the key Snake Eyes books will be going up soon with a new movie looming on the horizon, so anyone thinking about collecting Joe books right now should probably look into getting some of those first.

Besides 1, 21, 26 and 27 what issues do you think will get attention? I doubt Zartan will be in the movie, even though he’s integral to his origin in the original comic run. What else is there? Hard and soft masters? Jinx? Edited May 18, 2021 by BrooksR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt Zartan will be in the movie, even though he’s integral to his origin in the original comic run. What else is there? Hard and soft masters? Jinx? As far as Snake Eyes keys, 93 and 133 will probably get some attention. They're already fairly well known among collectors, so they'll be tougher to find for cheap. And 144 is completely under the radar as far as I know, but it has potential. Late release with a low print run, and it's another story about Snake's early years, and gets into some dark family stuff. I doubt that a modern movie will go into his Vietnam years, they'll surely retcon it to something more contemporary, but I can see them using his same family history. As far as 1st appearances and all that, I honestly can't keep track of those. There are so many Joes. Hahaha, But there's a great database on yojoe.com that covers every issue: https://www.yojoe.com/comics/marvel-comics-gijoe-a-real-american-hero/ ADAMANTIUM, aardvark88, pubmonkey and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidcolt Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Over the past few weeks I have been considering working on the run again. I still have the key snake eyes issues and 75 and 100. However I sold all of my first 20 issues and 154-155. I am a reader so none will be slabbed. I will post some here and hopefully bring some life back into the thread.

I might post a few of my recent pickups too to help get things moving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capn17 Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 I can do the same. I sold my original collection (not sure if it was complete or not), but trying to reacquire nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capn17 Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Not the best picture nor are these recent pickups, but figured this might be a good way to jumpstart the thread again. Show off some of your better GI Joe books/slabs. PKJ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was slow to get on the Joe train. The only issue that I paid “a lot” for was issue 21. Compared to today’s prices it was a steal. I should have bought more, lol.

comiconxion Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 For those that are fans of Mike Vosburg's run on G.I. Joe (issues #9-23), you may want to tune into the CAF Live Art sale that I'll be doing with Mike and Bill Cox on Saturday June 12, 2021 @ 10AM PT/1PM ET. He'll be taking questions from the audience throughout and talking about his art. You can find out more about the sale here https://www.comicartfans.com/galleryroom.asp?gsub=217347, but as a teaser, we'll be selling a special G.I. Joe cover recreation that Mike drew specifically for this sale. This is only the 2nd G.I. Joe cover recreation he's ever done so hoping some lucky Joe fan will get it! profholt82 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I decided to pull mine out to take a look, and I noticed that all 3 have different colored backgrounds, green, tan and grey. Interesting. 2 of them are otherwise identical newsstand printings as well. My "black spidey" copy appears to have the same grey color as your Canadian newsstand. Notice that the shading in the green copy is much more pronounced across the face and the fingers. The tan copy's shading is barely noticeable by comparison.
