You’d almost feel sad for the trees.

This morning, the mailman stopped by to drop off a package. Not too big, but very thick.

Compendium One – Front Cover

Collecting the first 50 issues of the G.I. Joe Marvel comic cook series, this massive book comes in at around 1160 pages of not only exciting stories, but also real pieces of art.

Compendium One – Back Cover

They state that Pop culture changed forever, and I fully agree with that. This series has had an impact on so many of us. It’s only fitting that it gets a prominent place in our collections. I couldn’t financially get in with the Kickstarter for the Hardcover books, but when I saw this pop up online, I tried to get my hands on one. My local comic book store couldn’t order them for some reason, luckily I was able to find one online.

Compendium One – Side view

I’ve put in a Classified scale Snake Eyes, so you can get a feel for the size of book. It really is a thick one. The paper itself is quite nice, almost like the original floppy comics. I just hope that the spine is strong enough not to tear over time.

That’s all for now. I have some reading to do 🙂 See you again soon, until then… Happy Collecting and YoJoe!
