The A-Team!

Description"In 1972, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them....maybe you can hire The A-Team."If you were a boy growing up in the mid-1980s, odds are you were watching The A-Team. Colonel Hannibal Smith, Face, Murdock and Mr. T as B.A. Baracus became action heroes for the kids in my school, and The A-Team was appointment television in the days of only three TV networks (my neighborhood wasn’t even wired for cable back then). It’s not a surprise that Marvel would do a comic book based on the show, and the creative team of Jim Salicrup, Jim Mooney and Joe Giella gave us this issue with a cover date of April 1984. This page features the A-Team’s legendary van, as well as Amy Allen, who disappeared from the show during the second season. We also have Hannibal, a famed master of disguise, disguising himself as a Japanese man in order to meet with the owners of Kuramoto Video Games. Because that’s how it was done in 1984? Oh, and Murdock is reading a Fantastic Four comic in the first panel. Social/Sharing |

This page has got it all for A-Team fans, and who wasn't in 1984? Well, nearly all. It could definitely use a helicopter full of baddies slamming into the side of a mountain, plummeting to the ground in a fiery wreck, then every baddie exiting without a scratch. Ah, those were the days.

The only place where you could see a bigger gun battle where nobody got hurt would have been G.I. Joe. If the Joes had been sent to capture the The A-Team, it would have been a glorious fight without a scratch on anyone.

Oh man! I can hear that familiar theme music playing in my head. Loved this show. What a great BA/Mr T page! So much more fun that that horrible movie remake. Pages like this really put the fun in comic art collecting. Thanks for providing me with my smile for the day.

All the best parts of the show boiled down into one comic page of canine collision avoidance. Superb!

I remember watching the premier episode of The A-Team following Super Bowl XVII in 1983. Sweet home nostalgia!

Yeah! I remember not caring who won the game so long as I got to see the show that Mr. T promised us.

What an issue! Murdock and B.A. race against time to change a tire for the next 20 pages in 20 minutes! Where'd the wheel lock go? Oh no, it's been handed off to a squirrel! Michael nabs that nostalgic squirrel!

This sounds like a good old fashioned A-Team montage that taught kids the value of such things as quality welding.

What a blast of nostalgia! Mooney really excelled at likenesses and Giella complemented him perfectly on the inks. Congratulations on a great page!

Uh oh, the car is destroyed...Don't drink any milk, BA, it's a trap! I was one of those people of a certain age. Loved this show. And you even got a Fool page! And that FF panel is the icing on the cake (maybe file in the cake would be more appropriate here? ;)). Great score. Congrats!

The warning to B.A. not to drink any milk makes me realize that the team's methods for getting him on a plane were terrible. As this video shows us, B.A. didn't need enemies with friends like these!

LOL! I'm not sure if I liked hypnotism or the oar one more. Nostalgia blast to the funny bone

Yeah, I saw that one but the one I realy wanted to see was the one where he says exactly what I wrote. Where I live, they constantly played a promo where he says what I wrote, not just the "Be there!" part. I'm sad I couldn't find it!

Sooner or later it will show up. Occasionally, people post hours of commercials from a certain time and channel in a single video, so finding one you want can be like finding a needle in a haystack.

Yes!! Super throwback fun. Great combo of art, nostalgia, tv, and general badassery. Can't beat Mr. T in comic form! Or is that B.A.? Well, being an '80s kid, I'm also thinkin' Clubber Lang! It's all good, man, it's ALL good. I pity the fool who don't comment on this page! Congrats, man!

With all the familiar tropes of the show--B.A. driving the van, man-child Murdock reading a comic (FF!), sleazy Face making a pass at Amy when he see she's all wet, and Hannibal's cringy yellow face--this A-Team page becomes an A-page!

I love it when a plan come together!
This rings such sweet nostalgia for me - I remember well - the next day at recess, talking about the latest episode was always topic #1

1st season intro has slightly differnt into working.
"Ten Years Ago, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them....maybe you can hire The A-Team."
As fellow member of the A-Team #2 club I do agree this page is great stuff!
