Issue 10 “A Nice Little Town Like Ours” Background This issue sets the foundation for a significant insight into the background of the Cobra organization.

The issue contains Joes getting captured, brainwashing through hallucinogenic drugs, a Nice Little Town of Springfield, and help from an unlikely fellow prisoner: a little boy named Billy. On to the issue. A three pronged assault on a Cobra facility in Manhattan goes terribly wrong as the roof team of Scarlett,…

In the early days of GI Joe, they put out a lot of compact play sets and vehicles. Compact didn’t mean boring though. The large play sets and vehicles were awesome, but for most families room and money were a big issue so there was a great deal of thought that went into the small ones as well. Most if not all the small play sets and vehicles were pretty awesome in the 80’s. Starting in 1982 the Ram and MMS were compact but both packed a huge punch and are…

In our last issue, Cobra had played the Joe team against their Russian special forces counterparts. While the Oktober Guard and Joes were entangled, Cobra forces set up an ambush and captured them. Near the very end, Cobra Commander instructed a trooper to line them along the ravine. And shoot them! Again, this is a heavy, somber topic for a comic book. Following in a long line of evil masterminds who can’t be bothered by the trivialities of taking two minutes to eliminate the only threat to their plans, Cobra…

1987 Mobile Command Center G.I. Joe has had some awesome play sets such as the Flagg and the Terror Drome, but one of the most overlooked large play set vehicles is the 1987 Mobile Command Center. I had the privilege of getting one of these for Christmas and this really was a very nice vehicle. The first thing that I love about this vehicle is its likeliness to the Jawa’s Sand Crawler (Another awesome vehicle for another story). It came with the driver Steam Roller a really cool looking badass dude. The…

BackgroundThis issue of G.I.Joe is a direct echo of the Cold War 1980’s. It surrounds a mission to recover a downed experimental Russian flying vehicle in the Hindu Kush Mountains in Afghanistan. For those a bit fuzzy on their 1980’s history, Russia and other communist countries were conglomerated together as part of something called the “Soviet Union.” Afghanistan is one of the “Stan’s” that was not part of this union. Afghanistan bordered Russia. Border and other disputes resulted in Russian entanglements in Afghanistan. Normally, a world super-power like Russia would trample…
