It’s always fun to get a behind the scenes look at our favorite Modern Military Action Figure, G.I.Joe. Thanks to Mr. Jim Shooter, former Editor in Chief of Marvel comics, we have some really interesting information of the G.I.Joe series we all grew to love.
Jim has posted a blog entry today entitled The Secret Parts of the Origin of G.I.Joe, where he talks about the the creative process behind Marvel and Hasbro‘s team-up on the G.I.Joe project, the challenges behind the marriage and the final product that, until this day, still captivates old and new fans alike.
Once you’ve checked out the blog, check back with us to share your thoughts and chime in on the discussion already in progress.

"G.I. JOE quickly became a top tier title and our number one subscription title."

So this would be tied to what was almost Fury Force right?
