grunt...after we get out deal done, i'll be interested in seeing what books you have that are McFarlane, Jim Lee...and the joe trades that you have. I'm been reading them with cbr on my laptop.

I bet it's pretty neat comparing both issues...I love comics man....I've recently had to stop getting my titles, ARAH joe, batman, and justice league. Things have been tight on the budget...and it's killing me...I love Greg Capullo...and his stuff with batman, and jim lee JL stuff...all new.

No comic shop here, I tried with the store in the next town but the owner just doesn't have things together and isn't reliable and screwed all of thing up for me. Oh well...i'll just have to search for the back issues with things clear up budget wise.

McFarlane did do 1 issue of GI Joe: the issue which introduced Falcon, Law & Order, Fast Draw, Chuckles and Zanzibar. it's also worth noting he drew Fast Draw wrong, because he (FD) is drawn in this rather Iron Man-esque armoured suit with a hand-held pistol-style 'rocket launcher' which is linked to his backpack.

Great score!

I was fortunate enough to have this issue in my collection because my brother was huge into Marvel GIJoe at the time it came out and picked up every issue up to #140 including the year books, Special missions and this one.  I have only 4 issues left to get including 155 and a couple European missions.
It's funny because I use to store this issue with my Spawn collection and was looking through the comics about a month ago and came across this issue(I totally forgot I had it)and wondered why it was with my spawn stuff.  NOW I remember.  Thanks Man!

As an aside, Todd McFarlane actually penciled issue #60 before this; so his work wasn't exactly refused by the editors at Marvel.

I totally remember that. I was and BIG TM fan with the amazing spiderman's he did in the late 80's and then his own book in the 90's. I just wish he would continue to pencil man, all the fan want it....and isn't it about what the fan want? I understand he is busy with his companies, but man I miss the love of his art work, when I do I just take out all my old spidey's, and the hulks he drew and other such books he did over the years.

Right now I'm so in love with greg capullo's batman...I loved Haunt, and then he left and the book just isn't the same in the art. An awesome Character and book, just needs an more skilled pencilled approach like ryan ottley did in the first few issues, and then Greg was on board with Todd doing the inks...so it was great.

If anyone has any old Mcfarlane's they are looking to let go of PM me, and let me see if i need them.

Cheers!
