You may have noticed on some of my posts (or my signature) that I write for a website called Comic Book Daily (http://www.comicbookdaily.com (http://www.comicbookdaily.com)).
The column I write is called "Knowing Is Half The Battle". The website reports on everything in the realm of comic books. The nice thing is I pretty much have free reign to write about whatever I want. Since G.I. Joe is one of the biggest parts of my life, I focus a lot of columns on G.I. Joe.
I am going to post links to my CBD articles here, so fellow board members can find it easily.
The first one is my interview with Valentine DeLandro at CanJoeCon (2011). I hope you enjoy. This was my very first interview... ever. I was very nervous, but Valentine is such a great guy, I started to forget I was interviewing him, we just started talking.
Thanks for taking a look.

This week's column for Comic Book Daily, I talk about Sneak-Peek's return to ARAH. Larry did a great job on this issue, explaining his return.
Check out my column, because Larry answered a couple of my questions about the issue.

Has anybody read ARAH #169 yet?
There is some good Sneak-Peek stuff in that comic. Larry Hama told me that a new SP story arc was about to begin, and #169 is where it starts.
SPOILER
Sneak-Peek is undercover posing as a Canadian. Nice eh!

My latest article is available to read on Comic Book Daily. http://www.comicbookdaily.com/columns/knowing-is-half-the-battle/what-is-the-comic/ (http://www.comicbookdaily.com/columns/knowing-is-half-the-battle/what-is-the-comic/)
It is about "THE" comic that changed everything. It could be the comic that got you hooked on comics, or the comic that changed your outlook on the world.
For me the comic was G.I. Joe #100. It drastically changed how I played with G.I. Joe in those days.
Please check out my column and let me know what you think.

Awesome Article as always....the book that did it for me was when I was 12 years old, and collecting joe and transformers books, i seen The Amazing Spiderman 300.....wow....the artwork and change in spidey at that time just hooked me...
Cheers!

My newest article is up for Comic Book Daily.
This week I do my year end review for the best and worst of 2011.
This week I focused on Joe Canuck's very own Jason Loo. I picked up Jason's Awol'd volume 1 and 2 at Fan Expo. His series is awesome. I recommend everybody on the boards here to pick it up from him next time you see him. It's one of my favourite comic finds for 2011.

I'll have to take a pic and show you the old vs. the new. Got the last piece, the command post glass, a few weeks ago. Man I'm so thankful for you sending the whale shell along. It was an awesome project and the pride of my collection. You helped and a little boys dream (from back in the day) come through. Thanks so much for that! I hope someone does the same for you, like that haul you scored from a friend not to long ago. What goes around 'really' does come around!
Your Joe Brother

I know some of the members of the forum got to read this, but for those of you who haven't but are interested, here is my latest column for Comic Book Daily.

It was a great panel to attend. Hope you enjoy.

so, what were the other 2 figures that didn't get released in 1982?
It was a secret and Gary couldn't tell us, but he said he's hoping within the next couple of months the figures would be revealed. JoeDeclassified.com has more details on that.

thirty years later and it's a secret? it's a toyline, not the PM's plans to bomb Buenos Aires in the Falklands War!
