The G.I. Joe Order of Battle

Marvel’s 1986–1987 miniseries The G.I. Joe Order of Battle was a four-issue hybrid of comic and reference guide, offering detailed profiles of the G.I. Joe team and Cobra forces. While primarily a data file on the toyline’s characters, it notably featured Mister Fantastic (Reed Richards) of the Fantastic Four, who provided scientific commentary on the Joes’ technology and adversaries. Published during the height of the G.I. Joe comic’s popularity, this series stands out for bridging Marvel’s superhero universe with Hasbro’s military action figures, giving fans a unique, encyclopedic look at the ongoing conflict.
