G.I.Joe Command Post Newsletter - Sketchbook
Image Close-Up [Warning: Image is over 600K]
Pictured above are two of the pages from the G.I.Joe Command Post Newsletter. This was the newsletter that one received when they signed up to join the officially sponsored G.I.Joe fan club that Hasbro organized in the early 1980s.
The sketchbook pictures several preliminary drawings of several G.I.Joe vehicles - including the Dragonfly and Skystriker. Also pictured are preliminary sketches of Zartan.
Note that many of these images were later reprinted and used in the 1985 G.I.Joe Fact & Yearbook.
In addition to the sketchbook images are a few puzzles involving acronyms and a description of what "G.I.Joe" means (being a team designation, as opposed to being a designation for one specific individual).
The newsletter itself is dated 1984.
