Description

GI Joe, A Real American Hero #37 from 1985 by Marvel Comics. 1st appearance of Flint, Footloose, Tomax & Xamot. Set against the panorama of the big top, G. I. Joe Flint jumps off a mini tank towards Xamot, who is standing at the top of a loop, planning to shoot the Joes as they drive by. Mike Zeck and John Beatty open fire with this incredible Joe cover and all the details are there, down to the last bolt in the tread of the tank. This is also the first appearance of the G. I. Joe mini-tank.

On a personal note, the first comic books I ever got were a 3-pack of G.I. Joe #21-23 from Toy's R Us. I asked my mom to let me have a subscription & she agreed (anything to get me to read more! lol.) Since #24 was already out, the first comics I got through the mail that first year were #25-36. This is the first comic I got in the mail through my second subscription when I renewed. Getting this cover is a personal GRAIL PIECE for me from my childhood and I couldn't be happier! :)
