Ian, if you REALLY want to understand where GI Joe came from, pick up Classic GI Joe Vols 1-4. They're trade paperbacks of the original Larry Hama-authored Marvel series. I have all four and have greatly enjoyed reading them...after reading the comics, you'll wonder why the cartoon was so goofy at times (Fuzzy Wuzzies, anyone?).
Thanks for this. I've finished the first two books in the Cobra series and I have to say that I'm enjoying it...a lot. Sometimes I find comics hard to read because the blatant exposition, but there's not a lot of that going on in the GI Joe books I've read so far. I'll look for the classics. Hopefully they'll be available as downloads.
Thanks again for the recommendations.
Ian
