Description

From a nostalgic point of view, this is one of the most important piece I've posted on CAF to date. GI Joe #21 was the 1st comic I ever read. I quickly got a subscription to it, but it took me a year to realize there were actual comic book stores! Armed with months of allowance (about $10 mind you), I went to my LCS & asked to see back issues. GI Joe was crazy hot, so the prices were really high, especially for a broke kid. I could not afford #1 or #2, but I was able to snag a #3 & #5. GI Joe #1-20 is my personal Golden Age. It's the 1st comic I read, 1st title I got a subscription to, and the 1st series I collected back issues. If not for GI Joe, who knows where I would be, what I would be doing & what I might be collecting.

I had a chance to buy this in 2005 & let it slip by. I was not going to make that mistake a second time!
