It had been awhile since I cruised the Kindle store for comics and was pleased to find some freebies that interested me. G.I. Joe comic books have been around for a long time and the international success of the animated series and action figure toylines that began in the '80s can be attributed to comics. Writer Larry Hama provided the storied battlegrounds of G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero from 1982-94 for Marvel and also contributed to modern era series like G.I. Joe: Origins.





I've collected several G.I. Joe comics from different series just in the past couple years. It's an area of pop culture that I'd like to delve into more often and I hope these finds might spark a re-interest for me and to whoever clicks the links below. There are 11 free comics currently available in the Amazon Kindle store which include:
