This is the Marvel comics commercial of G.I.Joe issue #30. For the past 15 years, I have only seen posted on the net a clip with a lot of digital artifacts and poor sound. I happened upon a better quality clip and I wanted to share it with the youtube G.I.Joe fans!
I believe this was actually made for G.I.Joe issue #35 but it may have been edited to depict issue #30 which has the plot that the animation spot coincides with.
This is the full comic commercial! These are the commercials which got me addicted to buying and collecting G.I.Joe back in the day when I was only 8 years old!
This comic commercial introduces the vicious Dreadnoks!! This issue was about the Dreadnoks trespassing on an air force base and destroying millions of dollars of fighter aircraft and creating more trouble than they can handle and that's when G.I.Joe steps onto the scene to kick 'em where the sun doesn't shine!
I don't know how many fans will agree with me but the comic commercials rivaled the actual G.I.Joe daily cartoon in terms of animation quality, story elements, music, and direction.
It is because of the initial cartoon commercials for the comics which created the demand for the daily series which was good but not as good as it could had been if it was produced along the same principles as these 30 second commercials. I fell in love with G.I.Joe with the help of these commercials. They were brilliant and still are after 25 years!

After waiting 25 years, I wish the new live action movie would live up to the exciting standards set by this groundbreaking series! Instead, the new G.I.Joe "Rise of Cobra" seems to be rewriting things as they go along. So much for progress. What I have on youtube is what I feel is G.I.Joe. I hope everyone will agree!
YO JOE!!!!
