Summertime means hitting the beaches of Miami! No, it's not to help Crockett stop the drug trade, it's to stop Cobra from blowing up some boats! Join me on a deep dive into the G.I. Joe Magazine from Summer 1987!

Here's a link to the action!

I'd wager the gang at the Movies and a Meal Podcast reviewed the Miami Vice movie. If they didn't, consider this an assignment.

I continue my deep dive into the G.I. Joe Magazine with the Spring 1987 issue! We learn a little about Mike Schmidt, Lindbergh crossing the Atlantic, and most importantly... Cobra's plot to destroy the Golden Gate Bridge!

I know Movies and a Meal Podcast has covered films where the Golden Gate was destroyed or attacked. I know this, because it happens in every 3rd disaster movie ever made. It's the law. Give them a listen to find out!

You can follow along at the 3DJoes website here!

Jump forward 2 years and let's revisit the Magazine world, this time for the Winter 1987 issue!

A fun prose story awaits us inside, which, in my opinion, is the true origin of both Headman and the DEF. You be the judge!

The Movies and A Meal Podcast are the judges of all the great movies! Give them a listen and tell them Joe on Joe sent you!

I'm back from San Diego Comic Con and back from San Diego COVID Con!

This week I take a look at the G.I. Joe Magazine from Winter 1985! What treats are in store for young readers? How about a brand new Larry Hama comic adventure!!!!

Speaking of adventures, our sponsors the Movies and a Meal Podcast cover ALL the cinematic adventures. So if you're a fan of movies and or meals, you should give them a shout out!

So this is the LONGEST podcast I've ever recorded, and it's all in service of Cobra Convergence!

Watch me relive my "artistic" origins and recreate a classic cover, like I used to do when I was 14 years old! You'll have to watch to see which cover made the grade!

View on my YouTube channel!

The Movies and a Meal Podcast always makes the grade! They've been supporting this show for over 5 years and I appreciate them so much! Give them a listen and a shoutout!

Also big shoutout to HCC788 for organizing Cobra Convergence all this time, and a hearty thank you. Hope this is a worthy sendoff!

Another Zartan this week! This time, in full pose as an Olympic Speed Skater!

Seriously, check out his pose.

It's really an exercise in adding some perspective to the figure, with some limb foreshortening and so on.

But I'm going to tell my kids he was a Speed Skater.

You know who won't lie to you? The Movies and a Meal Podcast, that's who! They're giving you the honest truth about the latest films and tv shows that you're already watching, so give them a listen and get their hot takes!

I'm finally doing it! A full body shot of Zartan! It makes the episode a little longer, but I think it's worth it! Hope you enjoy!

You know what's totally worth it... The Movies and a Meal Podcast! They're our sponsors and you should throw them some support!

We have a profile look at Zartan this week! It's a quick one, because frankly, he's all hood! Still have fun with it, talk a little about the upcoming SDCC How to Start A Podcast Panel, and other Joe stuff! Hope you enjoy!

This week I'm back at the drawing board, this time taking on the nefarious Zartan! I explore some of the differences in pencils that I've been using, and strangely, pivot to giving you the origin story of my dog, Mary Jane Watson! Hope you enjoy!
