G.I. Joe Special Missions #8: Ambush

[superboyprime]

'When I started, I had ten Joes and four Cobras, and I knew if the line continued, the next year we would be adding another ten Joes. I thought, "That's more than the Avengers." And everybody always used to grouse about the "team books" because there were so many characters to keep track of. So, I created what I called "dossiers" for each character, purely for my own convenience. These were like the Army DD201 files. It contained all the pertinent info about the characters, their background, training, skills, psychological profile, peer assessment statements, etc. There was a full page for each character. Kirk Bozigian from Hasbro was at the Marvel offices one day and saw the dossiers on my desk. He said, "We HAVE to put these on the backs of the packages!" Kirk edited them down to two short paragraphs each, and now file cards are standard on action figures.' - Larry Hama

With allies like this who needs Cobra?

"We could just ask them to fake the mission, but it'd be funnier to almost get our allies killed."

Also, next mission in Afghanistan? I bet it will have aged like fine wine!
