- That's pretty much all I could dredge up from my feeble memory. The full
- details came from an issue of COMICS INTERVIEW! magazine, which did a feature
- on the animated and comic book G.I. JOE titles. I don't recall the issue
- number, and lost my copy, but die-hard Joe fans may want to see about ordering
- the back issue in question and get the full scoop. Some nice storyboard scenes
- from the scrapped JOE movie were also included.
