Same here. I didn't even know the comic existed until one day I happened upon Specail Missions #1, which is still one of my all time fave issues. The first regular Joe comic I saw was #67, and it took me years to backtrack and get them all. For me, the earlier issues are the best, right up until just after the Cobra civil war. After that the ninjas took over and it all started to go inexorably downhill. This particular issue though was a great scene setter and really was a great starting point for the Joe story.
