ygerg Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Help is overwhelming guys, thank you, I know now what to look for, guessing my best bet is to pen the book itself, and some of the price variations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maloney414 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Help is overwhelming guys, thank you, I know now what to look for, guessing my best bet is to pen the book itself, and some of the price variations. You can also check sites like mycomicshop.com for picture references of the outside cover. In the example above the price is the same; however the Spiderman is different. 1st print is regular and 2nd print is black Spidey. This will help when buying online when you can't open the book.

ygerg Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 so in like issue #24, all I can see on ebay that it has a black spidey and a newsstand cover, but on some sites it is said that it doesn't have any 2nd printings? is that correct?

Yes, that's true. The Black Spidey isn't always a 2nd print. I said before to check mycomicshop.com for picture references. Here is the link to the 2nd printings GI Joe 2nd printings Hope this helps.

ygerg Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 (edited) What issue did the dreadknocks first appear? i'm a bit confused since some of them appeared before they have said to be introduced. it's like Zartan's case. and which do you guys consider as a first appearance? the literal one or the one that has an introduction?

zekebarrett Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Zartan had a cameo appearance in #24 and his full appearance was #25 as well as the original Dreadnoks, Buzzer, Ripper, and Torch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Smooth Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 (edited) I've always called 25 zartan's first appearance, ala Hulk 181 vs 180. #24 was my favorite issue of the entire series. Made my childhood a much better place, these comics did. Edited November 21, 2012 by Paper Airplane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made my childhood a much better place, these comics did. Gonna have to read issue 24 again. I have always been fond of issue 47. It was one that I bought at a flea market when I was a kid and got hooked! I watched the cartoon and had the toys, but did not know much about the comics.

Here is the #24 commercial: Here is a bunch more together in one video: 2nd bunch of commercials: They are pretty neat. I remember a bunch of them, but there were some I never saw.

ygerg Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 I did a research you guys are spot on, Zartan was unamed at #24. Then I really do need that #25 since I'm starting a portfolio for the Dreadnoks. But the original Dreadnoks, Buzzer, Ripper, and Torch, were unamed at the that issue, is there an issue were they got introduced? Pretty sweet videos. Nostalgic as ever.

Zartan appears in the last panel of #24. Right next to the panel it says: NEXT ISSUE: The strangest deadliest foe the Joes have ever faced... the incredible... ZARTAN. So he is named in the comic, but not in the story by another character. I believe the Dreadnoks are not called Buzzer, Ripper, and Torch until #30.

Joe title will be rebooting again, I think it is going to be released next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoa... there was Spirit (Charlie Iron-Knife), Airborne (Franklin E. Talltree), Altitude (John Edward O. Jones), Dart (Jimmy Tall Elk), and Redmack (Reginald Cobb). Dang FNG Hashtag thinks he can come in and take claim of being the first native American in GI Joe!!!! (jk) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
