The wildly popular G.I. Joe universe has entertained kids since the 1960s, whether it be through a cartoon or an action figure. As G.I. Joe's stories expanded, so did the characters, and everyone had their favorite, be it Hawk and Duke fighting against evil or Cobra Commander and Destro bent on nothing less than world domination.

For the first time ever, all the characters from the G.I. Joe multiverse--even those from outside the U.S. market--are gathered together in one location. Presented in field guide format, this book includes a history of the toy and comic lines as well as a thorough description of every action figure and character from the Cobra and G.I. Joe animated films, comics, and Hasbro-authorized fan fiction. With the addition of photographs from the private collection of Tommy Wyckoff, this book is a must-have for toy collectors and a chance for long-time G.I. Joe fans to recapture their favorite memories.

Reviews for The G.I. Joe Roster: Characters of the Toy and Media Universe

""A who's who of the G.I. Joe universe, dating back to the 1960s. The book is divided into two parts--G.I. Joe and Cobra. Each part offers overviews of the leadership of the organizations, bases, and more, as well as a large A-to-Z section covering all the characters from the animated films, comics, and fan fiction.""--Library Journal ""A who's who of the G.I.
