Also, the circumstances that led to the termination of said license are pretty shady. |

As I listen to Blaylock's interview, I get the reading that it was pretty contentious. They didn't even know who Snake Eyes was when discussing what characters to use in his GI Joe comics. They had the Extreme materials and had very little of the ARAH content for Blaylock to use.

And you'll come to realize just what doofuses Hasbro was at the time. It's really amazing that GIJoe even made it to 1994 - and it's no surprise it was rebooted into Extreme and Sgt Savage. They had no clue - and they didn't want to have a clue.

Things started changing for the worse after Stephen Hassenfeld passed away.

Never could quite forgive DDP for a few Zartan-family-related things. But I'd like to.

On a side note, Mark mentions in the intro that Blaylock wrote AOC and the Freshmen Force: New Party Who Dis? So I had to wonder if he also wrote Talk Bernie To Me and sure enough he did. He also co-authored with Larry Hama Barack The Barbarian: No F**ks Left To Give which I find interesting. |

Not for my favorite parts of the property, he wasn't. But overall, he did some amazing things.
