October 1983. That's it, that's the show — Cobra Commander (left) and his cadre of opportunists, mountebanks, and scoundrels plot against each other in a scene from G.I. JOE #16. The punchline:
You might well ask what the Commander is planning to do with that wine glass, since he's wearing a full-face helmet. Writer Larry Hama addresses just that point eight issues later, in G.I. JOE #24:
This is really the thing that has kept this ridiculous series alive (it was later revived by other publishers, and recently passed issue #300): Larry Hama's weird sense of humor and flair for eccentricity. The plots are frequently not much and the heroes are mostly no deeper than the plastic action figures on which they're based, but the ludicrous villains are consistently entertaining.

June 1982. Literally always saying this, also. Our heroes are introduced to the Baroness, one of the more competent of the recurring villains of the G.I. JOE: A REAL AMERICAN HERO series, in G.I. JOE #1. Writer Larry Hama eventually fleshed out her back story to some extent, and she, like her longtime boyfriend Destro, became a somewhat ambivalent figure, particularly after she learned that her perception of some of the events that set her on the road to becoming a radical right-wing terrorist had been mistaken.
