I did not realize there were early G.I. Joe novels.

A listing w/descriptions.

Yojoe says Zeck/Beatty were the cover artists. Comicvine added Greg Horn, which I don't think would be right. Not sure where my issue went.

There were both straightforward YA novels as well as "Find Your Fate" ("choose your own adventure" style) books. R.L. Stine wrote some of them early in his career before he created Goosebumps.

I am humbled.

Thanks for the education and the links so that I can do more research.

It's in one of those Choose Your Fate books that Zandar and Zarana being twins is first mentioned too. I picked up a couple of the books a few years ago to confirm it for us on here. Fun little stories.


As for covers...this one will always be a favorite. I remember picking it up at my local comic shop as a kid when it was new.

I bought that issue about a month ago thinking I'd never seen it before, but the dossier illustrations came back to me. I'm not sure if I had this book back then or if it was part of the jumbo size #1. I also vaguely recall you posting that blurb from the FYF book. Good luck digging that post up again!

And we had this one...

That was my first ever comic book.

Wow! It's impressive you remember that. I'm not sure what mine would be, but I remember being sick as a kid and my dad bringing home a Green Lantern comic for me.

Well given how comics shaped my life afterwards it was a landmark moment for me!
From then I collected GI Joe till the comic ended.
My first Non Joe comics were Spectacular Spider-Man #186 and X-Men #1. My first DC Comic was Batman #500
