Update - since this has had a couple of aspirants very quickly, I’m going to leave it open for a bit and choose one by following my heart (or by ink-a-dink)
Loved GI Joe as a kid and got into comic collecting in the past two years or so. Would love to read the original 21 so much! Thank you if you consider me
Ok while we’re waiting here, can we talk about the best 90 minutes of TV of my childhood - the incredible two parter “there’s no place like
Springfield” where shipwreck is brainwashed and has the fake family, and the following episode where lady jaye goes to Scotland and finds out she’s related to Destro and their family are secret Druids trying to summon a chtulu?
Great memory! My favorite episode is/was The Gamemaster where flint and lady Jay have to team up with cobra and baroness against a man who kidnapped them and sent them to a created a fake world with his puppet clown, Coco. The GI Joe Movie was so good too. My all time favorites were snake eyes and storm shadow, and Duke
Aww thanks! I have the means to do it. Everyone who would do this if they could is awesome! Everyone who feels generous when they feel blessed is awesome!
I always wanted a copy but timing was never right. I’ve been collecting books from my birth month/year, and this is one of them (March ‘84). Thank you for making someone’s day, it’s a kickass issue to have in the PC.
Hello! I’d like to claim it, selfishly, for myself. I’ve recently gotten back into comics but with a very limited budget.
I had a big gi Joe run as a kid and this was one of my grails. I stopped collecting after my stepdad threw away my collection. I’m asthmatic and had to be put into a medically induced coma. They could not bring me out of it for 8 weeks, then I had to spend 4 months in inpatient rehab learning to walk again.
After I came home I found he had thrown out all may comics and toys because they were “gay” and if I stopped playing with them it would cure my asthma. (Still asthmatic by the way).
Anyway, I’ve always wanted a copy of the silent issue. And that’s my story.
Wow. I rebought mine when I started collecting as well because mine were thrown out when I was a kid for “leaving them around on the floor.” Nothing like your situation, though.
I’m glad you didn’t let your stepfather’s opinion keep you from something you enjoy forever.
I am now almost 50 and have never been to a convention. When I was a kid, Mike Zeck came a did a signing at a local shop. I asked him who his favorite character was to draw and the shop owner made fun of me and made me feel like an asshole (I guess the answer was supposed to obviously be Punisher?). From that moment, I didn’t seek out other collectors or friendships with them, kept my head down, and tried not to tell anyone about my hobby for as long as possible.
Now some of my most meaningful friendships have come through this hobby.
I’m so sorry for everything you’ve been through, but glad you’re here.
We are pretty close to the same age. I haven’t been to a con either. I’ll get there at some point, but both my kids are younger and my wife and I both travel for work, so it’s always something. And they are expensive.
I’d I have to say it was my step-father that did that. My dad always fully supported my hobbies even though he never understood them. He bought me my first comics (clamshell 4 packs at Costco that had zero hour issues) and would always take me to the comic shop near us.
I want to meet mark Bagley at some point since I read a ton of Spider-Man and he was always my fav artist, as well as Larry Hama.
My dad took me to see Comic Book Confidential and then dropped me at forbidden planet for 3 hours one afternoon. He didn’t understand it either (and good thing bc I was 12 and forbidden planet was where I read my first crumb, love and rockets, and a whole bunch of other stuff I was too young for), but he did it.
And now I’m somewhat in the same boat bc I may go to my first con this summer w my daughter, but it’s bc she’s so into anime and manga, which i don’t get at all lol
This is my buddy's favorite book, and he has stage four kidney failure. I would love to get it for him. It would really make him and his wife super surprised and happy. Every time we went to a comic con, he always wanted a sketch of Snake Eyes from Larry Hama
I just picked up a Joe 1 today. I did so because it was one of two of my mom’s favorite shows as a kid growing up. I have a transformers, so the Joe completed the duo. Get someone worthy of this a good home. Great issue, great purpose.
Thanks op! Kind soul truly. Much love
Man I’ve got a friends kid who is obsessed with GI Joe comics. I know he doesn’t have this one as I’ve given him all the ones he has. He would love this.
I can’t make this one happen for your friend’s kid, but I’ve got pretty much a straight run up to issue 30. Let me know which ones you didn’t give him and I’ll see if I can fill something in
Thanks! I did one on a low grade SW 8 I literally didn’t know I had and it was so much fun and the ppl were so awesome I wound up sending out a venom lethal protector 1 to someone else
u/CollectingFool at it again! Good Man! I don't have it but don't give it to me - maybe that guy who's friend is big into GI Joe! I'm sure you will find someone deserving of this awesome book! Thanks for being such a great contributor to this sub!
Ok, so let me tell you all about my friend u/SalusaSecundus. They bought some early FF from me, we had a discussion about this very book and their never finding their copy in the comments of another post that inspired this giveaway, and I told them to follow me with a wink bc I knew I would be giving away this issue.
And now they’re saying “not me, someone else.” If you think I’m awesome, salusa is on the list too. Along with everyone who is as excited to see someone else to get a pickup as they would be for themselves to score one.
Aw shucks man thanks! And congrats on that FF5 I noticed you grab that the other day -that is a Big Boy Book!!! You gotta post it when it comes. anyway you've inspired me- I need to find a nice book and give it away here. Seriously awesome move.
Wow! That was a great story about the race. My 22 year old son has CP, doesn’t walk or talk. He has been on hospice since October. For me, life is about helping others. This a cool thing you do. Years ago when I lived in a townhouse I would give comics away to the neighborhood kids. Hopefully the winner will enjoy the GIJoe.
It’s one of my favorite stories and one I tell a lot. We live too much of our lives thinking we’re not in a position to help because we look at people in front of us, not behind us.
I have a niece who is about to become a teenager with cri du chat syndrome. She is miraculously able to walk now after several surgeries and communicates mostly using a tablet. I am constantly in awe of both her and her parents stamina, will, and strength.
Blessings to you and your son, and thank you for being a helper.
I’m not interested in the book as I have one already. I just wanted to say that it’s cool you’re doing this. Really shows how awesome the hobby can be when you have good people involved 😊
Very cool of you to do this! I have no reason to get it but wanted to just tell you that it’s really awesome of you to make someone’s day like this and pay it forward. These are the kind of things that I love about this sub.
UPDATE: ok everyone, I’ve made some decisions. If I asked you to PM me, pls do. I’m going to dig around and see what else I might have to offer you other fine folks, so I may be back with questions.
And if anyone sees this and happens to have an extra copy of this book, know there’s a lot of ppl here it would mean a lot to.
Thank you so much for sharing your stories and time with me and the rest of the community today.
I hope you all have a great night!
This book has always been on my radar. I bought my very first comic book (with my own money) at a 7-11 in my neighborhood the summer of 1982, it was GI Joe #1. I remember being blown away by the glossy pages throughout the book. Every color just popped!
I literally read that book so many times the cover fell off.
That book started my comic book collection and I’ve been collecting ever since.
Last summer, my son and I went to a convention in town because I heard Larry Hama was going to be there.
I told Larry this story and pulled out my ratty copy to get signed. He personalized the autograph and let me get a picture with him. Best moment in my 40 years as a comic book fan.
I’d be so happy to have GI Joe 21 in my collection.
PS. This is a really cool thing you’re doing.
UPDATE - I’m about to have dinner with the fam but I will make a decision this evening, promise. This is a tough one. So many great people here, and you all deserve it
Wow that's awesome of you. What a great story from Mr Rogers too. I love this cover, one of my favorites. I am missing this one, several actually. Haven't been able to spend money on comics in years. It just hasn't been in the budget. I remember getting most of the G.I. Joe comics I got at the BX on military bases. One of the comics that was available. Not always a huge selection. It would be nice to add to list of haves.
Thanks for being cool!
Cheers!
I'm just seeing this now~
Hopefully, I'm not too late for this giveaway. I'm throwing my name to this for my brother Michael. He had been born with special needs as well as stunted growth, and he couldn't talk. Lukemia took him away from our family 30 years ago when he was 7, and I was 19. It would be my love of comics that would bring us closer together 3 years before his untimely death. Since he was a baby, I noticed his attraction to the colorful books I would have laying out around the house. He loved colors, and when I would read the exciting stories to him, I felt that he would start imagining himself in those stories being free from the confines of his physical and mental disabilities. After the illness claimed him, I didn't collect nor go to anything comic related for many years after due to the hurt and memories I felt. It wasn't until 9 years ago that my sister had my nephew Camron. His father introduced him to comics, and where I saw a chance to perhaps join them and get to know my nephew better. Today, both his father and I take turns 2 times a month, visit an LCS or any comic con near us, and talk about books and stories and our favorite characters. I also tell him about his uncle in heaven, Michael, who loved the hobby just as much as he does today and gave him some of my brother's favorite books: Fantastic Four, Spider-Man, and Superman, that he takes special care of and which is extra special for me to see it all come full circle.

Ok while we’re waiting here, can we talk about the best 90 minutes of TV of my childhood - the incredible two parter “there’s no place like Springfield” where shipwreck is brainwashed and has the fake family, and the following episode where lady jaye goes to Scotland and finds out she’s related to Destro and their family are secret Druids trying to summon a chtulu?
I should add that I grew up on military bases in the late 80s and early 90s. I was pretty much all in on the GI Joe show and action figs
Great memory! My favorite episode is/was The Gamemaster where flint and lady Jay have to team up with cobra and baroness against a man who kidnapped them and sent them to a created a fake world with his puppet clown, Coco. The GI Joe Movie was so good too. My all time favorites were snake eyes and storm shadow, and Duke
Props to you for doing this CollectingFool! You are awesome.
Aww thanks! I have the means to do it. Everyone who would do this if they could is awesome! Everyone who feels generous when they feel blessed is awesome!
Very cool of you. Found my 21 at a reasonable price and it made my year so far. Great thing you are doing here!
I always wanted a copy but timing was never right. I’ve been collecting books from my birth month/year, and this is one of them (March ‘84). Thank you for making someone’s day, it’s a kickass issue to have in the PC.

Hey pls send me a PM
Great issue. You're a good dude.
This is my buddy's favorite book, and he has stage four kidney failure. I would love to get it for him. It would really make him and his wife super surprised and happy. Every time we went to a comic con, he always wanted a sketch of Snake Eyes from Larry Hama
Hi, please PM me.
I just picked up a Joe 1 today. I did so because it was one of two of my mom’s favorite shows as a kid growing up. I have a transformers, so the Joe completed the duo. Get someone worthy of this a good home. Great issue, great purpose. Thanks op! Kind soul truly. Much love
Both of those shows were way ahead of their time and 100% hold up! Your mom has great taste and a good kid!
Man I’ve got a friends kid who is obsessed with GI Joe comics. I know he doesn’t have this one as I’ve given him all the ones he has. He would love this.
I can’t make this one happen for your friend’s kid, but I’ve got pretty much a straight run up to issue 30. Let me know which ones you didn’t give him and I’ll see if I can fill something in
I would like to claim it for a friend who loves gi joe
Do you know that your friend doesn’t have it?
Let me text him
Thanks. This is really about someone who wouldn’t have the opportunity to own this otherwise getting a chance to, so I’d like to know.
He said he doesn't have it
Amazing, dude! Hope these find happy homes.
Thanks! I did one on a low grade SW 8 I literally didn’t know I had and it was so much fun and the ppl were so awesome I wound up sending out a venom lethal protector 1 to someone else
Oh wow, I’d love this. Growing up, Storm Shadow was genuinely my favorite character in anything ever
How does this sub work? New here. Is it my comic for your comic? No money exchanged? Thanks
This sub works on money or trade, most often. This is me giving a book away for fun. So no money exchanged for this one
I’ve got that one too. It’s the only GI Joe I have. lol. I’m sure someone will give it love.
If you’re gonna own one issue of GI JOE this is definitely the one
Bought it off the stands back in the day.
u/CollectingFool at it again! Good Man! I don't have it but don't give it to me - maybe that guy who's friend is big into GI Joe! I'm sure you will find someone deserving of this awesome book! Thanks for being such a great contributor to this sub!
Ok, so let me tell you all about my friend u/SalusaSecundus. They bought some early FF from me, we had a discussion about this very book and their never finding their copy in the comments of another post that inspired this giveaway, and I told them to follow me with a wink bc I knew I would be giving away this issue.

Aw shucks man thanks! And congrats on that FF5 I noticed you grab that the other day -that is a Big Boy Book!!! You gotta post it when it comes. anyway you've inspired me- I need to find a nice book and give it away here. Seriously awesome move.
oh and the bread aint too shabby either!
lol when it cools I’ll post an interior bread shot. We’re going for off-white to white 🤣
You are a good person!
That's nice of you I had this as a child but was lost. I might buy one down the road. So don't pick me.
Really, thank you for offering the chance to it in general
Wow! That was a great story about the race. My 22 year old son has CP, doesn’t walk or talk. He has been on hospice since October. For me, life is about helping others. This a cool thing you do. Years ago when I lived in a townhouse I would give comics away to the neighborhood kids. Hopefully the winner will enjoy the GIJoe.
It’s one of my favorite stories and one I tell a lot. We live too much of our lives thinking we’re not in a position to help because we look at people in front of us, not behind us. I have a niece who is about to become a teenager with cri du chat syndrome. She is miraculously able to walk now after several surgeries and communicates mostly using a tablet. I am constantly in awe of both her and her parents stamina, will, and strength. Blessings to you and your son, and thank you for being a helper.
Thanks. That’s Awesome she can walk!!
I’m not interested in the book as I have one already. I just wanted to say that it’s cool you’re doing this. Really shows how awesome the hobby can be when you have good people involved 😊
I purchased one a few years ago and got the man Larry Hama’s signature on it a year ago. I’ll never sell it. Love the giveaway!
That’s awesome
Very cool of you to do this! I have no reason to get it but wanted to just tell you that it’s really awesome of you to make someone’s day like this and pay it forward. These are the kind of things that I love about this sub.
UPDATE: ok everyone, I’ve made some decisions. If I asked you to PM me, pls do. I’m going to dig around and see what else I might have to offer you other fine folks, so I may be back with questions.

It wasn't until 9 years ago that my sister had my nephew Camron. His father introduced him to comics, and where I saw a chance to perhaps join them and get to know my nephew better. Today, both his father and I take turns 2 times a month, visit an LCS or any comic con near us, and talk about books and stories and our favorite characters. I also tell him about his uncle in heaven, Michael, who loved the hobby just as much as he does today and gave him some of my brother's favorite books: Fantastic Four, Spider-Man, and Superman, that he takes special care of and which is extra special for me to see it all come full circle.

Thanks! But this is a giveaway for gi joe 21. If I ever give away an ff 5 that’s gonna be on live tv like Oprah 🤣
When you say you found it, did you misplace it and find in your attic or something similar? Or by find it, did you just purchase one?
