I was 8 when I got my first Joes and the 1st oversized comic book. I enjoyed both but found by 1985/1986 that I was enjoying the comic more. The movie was ok. Didn't have any thoughts on Cobra LA other than, "That's nice". Now, when DiC came into effect, that's when I started losing interest. That would be about the same time the Cobra War was over and I was losing interest in the comic, wanting something more interesting.

I didn't mind anything that happened in the comic. I wasn't around to deal with the ninja action stuff. I think the last figure I had at that time was the Sky Patrol Airborne so I was pretty much out of Joe. Until 2002.
