What would gi joe be without the marvel comics? The marvel run IS the joe story. With all the re-starts through the years it gets confusing and now there's this idea of joe verses and such, but the marvel run is THE joe verse. Anything else is just re-imaginings of the already established story. That's what it was when I was like 9 and that's what it is to me today. Gotta love the marvel run. Even the cartoon was a late comer, nothing in 82, just the 5 episode mini series in 83, just another 5 episode mini series in 84, so the first three years produced 10 cartoon episodes, and around 36 comic issues (probably more with the order of battle, yearbooks, etc).
