A comic series launched by Creator/MarvelComics in 1982 to promote the return of the ''Franchise/GIJoe'' brand to toy shelves and to introduce the new individual characters developed for the new line. GI Joe was introduced as an elite counter-terrorist/special mission force that conducted covert operations around the world on behalf of the US Government. The primary enemy of the Joes was an evil organization called Cobra. Cobra was involved in various schemes and plots in an attempt to increase the organization's wealth and power by any means necessary.
The primary writer of the comic was Creator/LarryHama, who wrote all but a handful of issues over a twelve year run (as well as many of the [[ActionFigureFileCard character bios for the action figures]]). Prior to the relaunch, Hama had an idea for a Franchise/MarvelUniverse comic called ''Fury Force'', which would have seen the son of ComicBook/NickFury put together a team to fight Hydra, Marvel's resident terrorist group; his ''G.I. Joe'' series was based primarily on this unused pitch. Despite a large amount of restrictions and interference from Creator/{{Hasbro}}, Hama was able to make the comic more mature than [[WesternAnimation/GIJoeARealAmericanHero the cartoon]], also using his experience as a Vietnam veteran to color the dialogue with Army slang. It allowed bloody fighting, multifaceted characterization, losses for the heroes, and characters who could be killed off, eventually growing into a functional canon that developed into a fleshed-out background for its universe.
