Snow Job

For his first appearance, Snow Job is clad in a gray uniform with light brown highlights on his chest and back. Other than that, he has very little color. For my custom, I swapped some parts to make him closer to his in-book appearance. Color-wise, I cheated a bit by painting his hands and feet in khaki to break up the gray a bit. I also repainted his beard a brighter red. I also gave him his classic backpack, skis and poles even though he does not use them in the issue. Those accessories were some of my favorites from when I was a kid. Snow Job without those accessories is a sad sight.


Marvel issue #11 was one of my first and only (along with #5, 12, 26, Special Missions 17 and 28) GI Joe comics that I had as a kid. For that reason, I read it over and over and it was one of the first comics that I wanted to rebuy when I started building my comics collection last year. I was lucky enough to find it during a trip to the West Coast.

Rereading it as an adult, I noticed things that I was oblivious to when I was a kid.
1. Several 1983 Joes made their debut in this issue.
2. These new Joes looked a lot different than their toys. The artist must have been working from concept sketches or prototype toys pictures.
