-The article gives a brief history of GI Joe from Hasbro & Marvel's point of view during the 1982 simultaneous launch of the comic book & the toy line.
-On the day the toy line was launched, an animated commercial that told the story of comic issue #1 aired across the nation. This was (as maybe still is) the only comic book series to ever have its own television commercial aired. This prompted sell-outs of the toy line and the comic book at most retail locations. Additionally, animated commercials were produced and aired that were based on comic book stories. At the same time, work began on a mini-series that consists of 5 half-hour segments to be aired nationally in 1983 on consecutive weekdays in the coveted after-school time slot. More commercials based on the comics were aired and another miniseries was produced and aired in 1984. Each of these miniseries received great ratings and much attention all leading up to GI Joe getting its own daily series. The regular daily series first began airing in 1985.
