I think Slaughter mixed it up(sometimes camo shirt, sometimes black tank top). Some artists seemed to take more liberties with the "canon" uniforms, but you needed an artist that do the subtle character differences in similar looking characters.

Yeah, the earlier guys like Mike Vosburg and Herb Trimpe seemed to be more "literal" in their interpretation of the Joe costumes (in that they rarely, if ever, drew them wearing anything else but their toy design costumes, even in contexts where the costumes didn't make sense), although to be fair, they were simply following Hasbro directive. The later guys, like Rod Whigham, Marshall Rogers, and Ron Wagner, seemed to take a more realistic approach to the concept of costumes/uniforms, and frequently went "off-model" when depicting the Joes in environments or contexts where their toy uniforms weren't appropriate.

Edit: note the way the colourist has mixed up the hair colours - Wet Suit was always blond afaiu while Torpedo should have dark hair. |

I wish they had made the SEALs in those camo uniforms... all the SEALs. They could given them different different hats/equipment, etc. But it would have been an awesome sub-team.

Let me ask you guys a question. I was looking at the early marvel issues to see when the letters page started ("postbox the pit" I think it was called). I didn't see any letter pages from issue 1 to 11 (but I'm missing #9), but in issue 12, it says something about being back and couldn't do the letters page last month due to the story running long. So anybody know for sure, did issue 12 have the first letters page?

Here's another one. I remember a framed picture on a desk of joe and jane from their former days. I thought it was in the marvel run issue where we first see those two characters (around issue 86). I looked there and didn't find it. So, I thought it must have been in the frontline issues that Hama did in the disavowed run. But I didn't see it there either. (I wanted the reference for a custom) This ringing any bells for anyone? Anyone know where I might have remembered this from?
EDIT: I found this one, it was in issue 127.
