I just started reading the old Marvel comics. Someone should have told me how awesome they were.
Anyway, I have a question. Did G.I. Joe use made up rank insignias? I don't remember seeing any rank insignias before issue 31 and in that issue they all look upside-down from the real army. Some generic Joes on page 1 had upside-down insignias and so did Airborne and Spirit. A quick check of their toys and it looks the same. On a side note, Spirit is supposed to be a corporal but he has three bars. I'm guessing they were different on purpose, to distance it from the real world. |

The toys used ranks and patched that were unique. Even Gung-Ho's marine tattoo wasn't identical to the real deal. Also his dress blues rank only had a yellow dot within the chevrons
