Nice one! Couldn't agree more. Found it funny that while the team was fully committed to the rescue mission, Scarlett still made note that her and Snake Eyes could end all this with one shot while looking through the window. No feminine slack for a sister in a man's world.

More thoughts on Herb Trimpe's art? I don't feel qualified to talk comic book artists and their craft. I'm curious what others who are think. I believe I heard that Herb didn't have any particular love for the property. Just another gig at this point while working the Marvel Bullpen. Thoughts or facts?

Trimpe's art was good when it was good. Other times, it was just okay. He drew on a lot of different Marvel comics over the years.
From wikipedia: Trimpe, in a 1997 interview, described his Marvel arrangement: "I was a quota artist, which was non-contractual but [I] received a salary. I got a regular two-week check, and anything I did over quota I could voucher for as freelance income. I also had the extras, the company benefits. It was like a regular job, but I worked at home. It was a good deal." He wrote a few GI JOE issues that Hama probably doesn't consider canon. I read somewhere he was unaware that Hasbro "ripped-off" his GI JOE #1 cover for their accessory pack/carrying case artwork until a fan mentioned it to him many years later. |

Trimpe is tough to describe. I like a lot of his stuff, but sometimes it seems rushed or somehow unpolished (probably partly just his style). Special Missions #2 and #8 are great ones, but you can see examples of what I mean in those. Overall he's one of the best G.I. Joe artists (Rod Whigham's my favorite), with a lot of stellar work. Issue #1 is top-notch.

Hot Potato anyone?
1)Love the art. Snake Eyes and Scarlett drawn well. Rock&Roll looks like a crazy man running through the desert. The full page near the beginning with the three Joes surrounded by bodies listening about the next wave on the dead guys radio looks great. Lots of carnage. I don't recall Don Perlin drawing much other Joe comics. 2) Scarlett with sand in her eye. Nice touch. 3) "A special place is promised in paradise for all those who fall in the cause!" He forgot the virgins! His guys may have fought harder had he remembered. 4) Scarlett saved two shots in her back up gun. Very adult for a kids toy property comic. Larry was so ahead of his time with this. 5) Original dialogue... " Eat hot lead you turkeys!" Rock'N Roll. Harsh words. Should have been censored by the Comic Code Authority. |

Just did a google of Don Perlin and found this story from Jim Shooter who was editor in chief at Marvel during the beginning of the Joe run. You know the infamous 'Shooter' on the monitor at the beginning of issue 1. I met Jim Shooter at the Baltimore Comic Con in 2008. He was very nice and signed my GI Joe #3. I asked him about the 'Shooter' character and his response was that was "just Larry being Larry."

The "red mist" line caught my attention too. I like how the miltary aspects of the dialogue come off as being authentic but not ham-fisted. Hama peppers in enough military jargon to keep things interesting, like in Trojan Gambit when they are making breakfast and talking about how they like their eggs or "sacking out". It gives the characters more dimensions than just being "third soldier from the left".
And of course fanboys refused to get the joke and milked a terrible fanfic-level character and story out of it. The funny part of which is that the Declassified Shooter isn't even the same Shooter that's in #1, so now we need another miniseries to explain this peculiar continuity error.
