Where it came from
Released by Marvel Comics in 1986, The G.I. Joe Order of Battle was conceived as a comprehensive reference guide to the extensive cast of characters featured in the G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero comic series and toy line. As the lore surrounding the franchise grew increasingly complex, this limited series served as an encyclopedia, providing detailed dossiers, vehicle specifications, and file cards for the various Joes and Cobras that had been introduced since the brand's 1982 revival.
The series was primarily written by Larry Hama, the architect of the G.I. Joe comic universe, and featured illustrations by various Marvel staff artists. Hama utilized the format to solidify the personalities and backstories that would define the franchise for decades. Upon its release, it was well-received by fans for its meticulous attention to detail and its ability to consolidate fragmented character information into a single, accessible resource.
