THE POP EXPOSE ‘G.I.Joe Filecards’ By Mitchell Smith!

When G.I. Joe hit shelves in 1982 each character had his own little uniqueness, as the years went on they had a vast variety of weapons, uniforms, and personalities, but one thing they all have in common is they all came with a file card. Hama tossed in a lot of military stuff, but he also through in some humor and gave a little back story to every character bringing them to life.

G.I. Joe was a big hit right from when they came out with the 1982 straight arm figures. There were only Cobra Troopers and Cobra Commander at the time for the bad guys to defend the world against. 1983 added a couple signature Cobra characters with Destro and Major Bludd. 1984 was a big year for Cobra and its lineup of enemies.

Scrapie was one of…
