Cool When I was a kid

I didn't have my Joes wrestle. Would set up dioramas outside and would take pictures. From 1986 was when I first started collecting. First figures were Cobra EEls, Crimson Guard, Beachead and the Devilfish I bought at Kinney Drugs. Fave Joes were all of them. When I would g and let the product catalogs my jaw dropped and discovered there was a Joe universe. I liked them better than the 12 inch Joes because you could have battles on a grand scale with limited space required. For some reason I liked the tv show up until the movie. The movie was alright but I didn't like what they did to Cobra Commander. I got my first Joe comic in 1987. When Larry killed off the original CC I was a little dismayed. Special Missions was great and the regular comic too. I recognized there would be peaks and valleys in the writing but every issue was entertaining. It helped me cope with my parent's divorce and health issues. It helped me escape reality for a little while. I feel the cartoon and the comic are both brilliant in their own way. I will be a fan always!!
