I was originally thinking of using GI Jane and "Dan Lewis" (Cobra Commander's older brother) in place of Burkhart and John Do, but I didn't want it to turn into something like the convoluted relatinships in the old Marvel comic, where everybody was absolutely related to everybody in too-convenient coincidences.
The Blind Master being part of Fury Force is borderline, but I love the idea so it works.

Yeah, that was probably my biggest problem with Hama's original GI Joe work. I love the guy's stuff, but that doesn't mean I couldn't see its faults, either. I don't know if it was intentional on his part, though. I think everything fitting too neatly together was pretty much just a side-effect of his work-process (which was basically just him bashing out one story after another in a mad dash to beat deadlines ) and an effort to rationalise some of the toy designs that came from Hasbro. He probably didn't have time to reflect on the character relationships he crafted and how unnaturally seamless they all were.

I recall an early pre-GI Joe Snake-Eyes/Snake-Man concept sketch (drawn by Larry Hama, I think) from the early 1980s that shows that the original unmasked face for the character was supposed to be a mustachioed man... you wouldn't happen to have a link to it, would you?

Zulu, the use of Fury Force is inspired genius. I love it
and I'm glad Nth Man is getting some love. I loved this comic as a kid. I'm still cut that my entire collection was part of a small container that went "missing" when my folks moved between Vancouver and Australia. Sigh. One day I'll get the collection again. I like your rationale behind your change from Action Force to the October Guard as well. Awesome |

Glad you like it.
Speaking of Action Force, here's the roster as I have it now. It's basically the NATO member country-born members of Action Force's SAS Force and some of the NATO member country-born members of Z Force; with the addition of Big Ben, Jingles (from GI Joe #57), Sgt. Day (from GI Joe #57), and Backstop. Last edited by zuludelta; 09-02-2009 at 04:21 AM.. |

It's okay and thanks for making teh effort to look. I know it's out there, though. Just wish I'd saved a copy of it when I had the chance.

Great updates Zulu.
I never understood if Daina was her real name or codename. Always kind of bothered me that the other Guard had codenames and she didn't. I also never understood why she got changed for the cartoon. Although the cartoon Daina was better looking, lol.
