I forgot to mention-in the comics my favorite ultimate battle was the
Cobra Civil War!
Excellent story-Cobra Commander vs. Serpentor with the GI Joe Team backing Serpy!
Add the Iron Grenadiers,Tons of Joes,non-stop action,and wonderful art by both Ron Wagner and the late Marshall Rogers.
My favorite parts include Lt.Falcon leading the Recon Team-"Open Sanction! That makes this whole island a Free-Fire Zone!There are only six of us!" Not cowardly,not macho-Falcon responded as most soldiers would to that dangerous order,against such long odds.
I also loved the aerial battle as Maverick and Wild Bill strove to cover the Joe Team's Assault Landing.Maverick's Steely-Eyed glint as he pulled up into the attack is a sight to behold!
All-in-all,I think the Cobra Civil War was the High-water Mark of the GI Joe Comics.
