GI Joe #86

G.I. Joe (1982-1994) #86A

This is an issue I remember owning as a kid. The Joes are called to protect an office building from an invasion of Iron Grenadiers. It just happens that a super-secret spy satellite program is housed inside the besieged building, posing as an advertising agency. When the Joes finally make it inside, they meet the program’s head of security- a tall bearded man who looks awfully familiar and answers to the name of “Joe.”
 
That’s right- in a clever bit of writing; Larry Hama manages to tie in the classic GI Joe line of the 1960s with the updated Joe team of the 80s. This is a fantastic tribute to 25 years of the most popular boy’s toy line of all-time, up to the Kenner line of Star Wars.
 
This was the perfect GI Joe book with some great twists, turns, and diversions. I could read this book over and over.
 
Worth Consuming.
 
Rating: 10 out of 10 stars.
