This is by far the best book on the subject of GI JOE ever. It covers the comics and cartoon. The comic books, which people tend to forget, had a much more serious and adult story line. They were not silly like the cartoons. I have read this book at least 4 times. Each time finding something new, that really sunk in. The author really delves deep into each comic and cartoon story and points out the fun, flaws, and plot points of all.

Pasando su horrible portada, Now You Know es un potente compendio de datos, anécdotas y evaluaciones para cada entrega en cómics y dibujos animados de la franquicia G.I. Joe en los '80s. Sin concesiones a la nostalgia, esta completa guía se encarga de presentar, destazar y revisar a fondo a "The Real American Hero" en todas sus virtudes y (sobre todo) defectos, donde no falta el sarcasmo y el humor. Imprescindible para fans analíticos y amantes de la trivia.

I'm a huge fan of these unauthorized guides, and this is a good one. I don't always agree with all of their opinions, but I certainly do appreciate them.
