This classic run of G.I. Joe comic books is one of my favorite stories of all time. I have been reading and rereading these tales since I was 9 years old. I've no doubt that some level of nostalgia is involved in my fascination but I also believe that these are great stories by any standard.
This hardbound collection is a great way to experience the G.I. Joe saga. The fact that the publisher doesn't seem to be able to complete it is a bit frustrating but that takes nothing away from the stories themselves.

The Snake Eyes \ Storm Shadow saga had been the highlight of this series, but now the over-arching G.I. Joe \ Cobra conflict gets more interesting. Seems to be much more focus on the story rather than selling toys.

I'm enjoying this.

My favorite run starts to come to a close. It's probably my favorite because this era was the height of my Joe fandom as a kid (1986). Tune in to see Snake-Eyes stab a shark.

This is GI Joe in its prime. We meet Dr. Mindbender and his creation, Serpentor. The story lines revolve around Cobra Island, the Joe's invasion of Springfield and Cobra's assault on The Pit. Zartan introduces his siblings, Zandar and Zarana. We also meet lots of new Joes. Meanwhile Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow team up to take care of business. This volume also includes a few issues of Special Missions. I enjoyed reading them, but they distracted from the Real American Hero plotline.
