I loved the made-up countries.
What would Wolfknuckland (sp?), Darklonia and Trans-Carpthia be?

Trans-Carpathia was probably a play on Transylvania (which isn't a country, by the way, contrary to what many people seem to think). No idea what Darklonia is supposed to be. Is that where Darklon is supposed to be from? It sounds more like something out of a superhero comic (like Dr. Doom's Latveria). Wolkekuckukkland sounds like a Bavarian/Germanic place (Wolke and Kuck are Bavarian surnames, IIRC). When did those two latter countries appear in the comics? They sound terrible.

Around the same time. Both were in the issues where Python Patrol appeared. Yeah, Darklonia was where Darklon ruled.

I was a fan of the made up names although now I don't see why the Joes shouldn't be stationed in Afghanistan most of the time or at least a team is always there.
WTFland I think was up there with Fruseland? nah maybe eastern bloc too. And Darklonia was where Darklon was from which bordered Trans-carpathia and Wolfknuckland, probably Latveria too. |

Hama was probably burnt out from trying to incoporate some of the more out-there characters into the comcis by then if Darklonia was the best name he could come up with.
I mean that's just horrible. Imagine having to introduce yourself: "Hi, I'm Darklon, and I'm from Darklonia" "Yeah? Well, I'm Scott and I'm from Scotland! Get the f*** outta here!" |

I like to think that issue doesn't exist. The whole "radar proof camaro" thing. I do love how Hama puts Python Patrol in there, everyoen thinks they're radar proof but it's really the Wolkuland guy shutting the radar station off.

You can tell by issues 139 or so Hama doesn't seem to care anymore.
#133 Ninja force (which I think Larry liked.) 4part series. #139 gijoe starring SNAKE-EYES and the TRANSFORMERS? thats a 4 issue run then we get a few origins stories, then #146 STAR Brigade? 4 more issues. That is how you kill a comic! By 155 it was dead! It was so neon and so fake its mostly forgetable. I'd say #131 may have been the last decent issue |

I think it was hasbro coming up with Crap he had to write in. Transformers + Star Brigade. That's not larry. I bet Ninja force was only because he had done a decent job with them a few issues earlier and they then launched the toy brand around that. I'm just glad he left out the rest of Ninja force.

Here's something I've been thinking about in light of our conversation on the International figures... first of all, it kind of bothers me that other countries got variants that we didn't... but I digress
Anyway, of all the Sub-Teams, who should have been members of a certain sub-Team that wasn't? For Example, Snake-Eyes should have been on Night Force. So should Low-Light. And as a side note, if Low-Light had gotten that job with Night Force back in the day, perhaps now he wouldn't have to be doing contract assassinations for people like Troynos. I'm just saying.
