    Huge fan of his writing to this day. The comics are no different than any other literature, to me. Specific lines of his and character arcs stick with me 35 years later. Thanks, Larry, for putting so much of yourself into these characters over the years. It remains a masterpiece of storytelling; I remember when I first got into Snake-Eyes' 'un-masking' and his emotional connection with Scarlett, and how Stormy gave him a mission as an act of love... I was blown away. Still am.

    Those file cards are probably the main reason why I love G.I Joe to this day. The character designs were great, the box art was also great but those file cards made all the difference, specially for fans who didn`t live in America and didn`t have access to G.I Joe comics.

    Super interesting to realize that the initiative towards representing the Joes as diverse and varied as the real US armed forces started with Hasbro but was carried forward by Larry. The spreading out the home towns thing explains why there's as many "White" southern joes as yankees too!

    It's good to know that "snake eyes" was originally created for money saving

      Pretty intriguing, right? Exactly what Snakes wants us all to think, regarding why he wears all black... 😂

    Lol, the figure made to be cheapest to produce became one of the most sought-after collectible items.

    I loved G I Joe when I was younger still love it now. Wish the movies were better but still love the. But I do remember the comics were by marvel to bad they didn’t make the movies. Still my favorite comic and toy line.

      depends on what you expected from it. If you expected a coherent movement and alternative to mainstream superhero comics, of course you will be dissapointend@@jonathansoko1085

    The man literally used the age old adage that the military never utilized "Work smarter, not harder."

    I love how Larry deflects with humor that first SJW question about race. The girl was obviously trying to start a discussion about ‘white’ Joes.

    It's awesome that he said moon knight because he's mentioned in 28
