Just noticed other books that month had them too other than ASM and FF. I didn’t know that either, now I need to check mine 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ceito Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 (edited) Hello to all I didn’t know it had it until purchase. I remember my ASM 238 having it back in the day. Maybe all releases from that month had them, I wouldn’t know this for sure, but ASM 238 and FF 252 had it advertised on the cover. Just found something on MCS that, at least what they have, do have them. ‘Tattooz Insert Variant’ as it’s written.

I just checked mine and found (to my surprise) that I have two copies. Neither of them have the insert though. The MCS description mentions they were randomly inserted in this issue, FWIW.

BrooksR Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 I was reading the eternals 1 facsimile edition and saw this ad, I’ve never seen one of these before. I guess it’s for the old 12 inch figures? It’s hard to imagine Joes before 82. Skunkboy, STORMSHADOW_80 and FoggyNelson 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
profholt82 Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Throughout most of the 70s, the regular GI Joe line was pivoted to the "Adventure Team" line of Joes which focused more on Joes in nature, the jungles and such. This was due largely to negative public opinion of the Vietnam War; Hasbro wanted to distance the original war theme of the GI Joe line. The big military relaunch of Joes as 3 3/4 inch figures in 82 alongside the comic and (shortly thereafter) cartoon series was a direct response to Kenner's massive success with the Star Wars toyline.

Popular Post OV Posted October 31, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 31, 2021 (edited) I just got the awesome G.I.Joe Special issue! Several years ago I met the awesome artist Scott Koblish at a comic con. He's the inker on the Special issue. I asked him to sketch a version of Snake Eyes similar to the cover image. I also thought "what if Storm Shadow was on an opposite ledge from Snake Eyes?" so I asked him to also create Stormy in this pose. It's amazing to see these all side by side! Mr. Koblish is a great guy too, very engaging and easy to talk to. I appreciate him and hope to meet him again one day. Now you know!

I had him and Larry Hama sign my special at wondercon a few years ago. I still think it's the greatest Spidey 1 homage and one of the first.

Popular Post grendelbo Posted November 4, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 4, 2021 I think G.I. Joe may have been the first series I pretty consistently bought off the racks. And this was before I was a comicbook collector. I followed the series until I outgrew the toys and the cartoon. I had quite a run including reprints of earlier issues. Never did have an issue 1 until about 15 years back. I found it back issue bin diving. This one shop had about a half-dozen, all VF/NM, all priced the same - $8. I picked out the cherry copy and now, upon retrospect, I know I should've bought them all. It's uber high grade, nearly flawless. And it's one of the only issues I still have (along with the Snake Eyes/Storm Shadow intro and origins).

Popular Post whisp Posted November 26, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 26, 2021 Sent this book off in June and got it back today. I speculated it was a 9.0 possible 9.2 and it came back 9.2 so very happy. 75 cent Canadian copy of #21 :) Morganmi, ADAMANTIUM, grendelbo and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mercury Man Posted December 5, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 5, 2021 Just arrived before the weekend. Probably the 3rd copy I ever owned, figured it was time to grab another and hold onto. I remember being in 6th Grade, and we used to rotate rooms for different classes. One of the classes 'Homeroom', had the 7th Graders desks, and the desk I had to sit at, had this comic poking out from storage tray under it. It was there for months. Even though I never touched it, I would just look at the cover. I thought is was amazing, with the colors and action. I started picking up this title around issue 14 on a regular basis. I can look at this cover and it transports me back to that time, and see the classroom, remember the kids I sat near.
