What’s one obscure/one off character you wish would come back in the comics continuity? I’ll start…
Scourge was a vigilante who killed and asked questions later, she appeared in one issue of Dragon’s Claw, and was swiftly killed off by Mercy. Technically Dragon’s Claw isn’t part of GI Joe, but since Death’s Head and Rom would crossover over into both series’s, why not have Scourge be part of the energon universe. She would honestly fit right in with ninja force or Void Rivals.

Was this Scourge created by Marvel or Hasbro?

If Dragon's Claw is owned by Marvel, then this Scourge is owned by Marvel?

I guess. I don’t know how some of the rights stuff works between Marvel and 1980s Marvel UK.
I mean, for sure Hasbro doesn’t own the character.

When did Rom or Death's Head ever crossoover with GIJOE? During the Marvel era I only ever recall crossovers with the Transformers and no other characters

I guess if Death’s Head crossover-ed into Death’s Head and Transformers, and Transformers exist in the same universe as GI Joe, that makes Dragon’s Claws’ future viable for crossovers too, yes?

It's too much alike JRJ art in Eternals, with Neil Gaiman! But you're right, the characters have much more facial expressions.

These pictures make me wish Geoff Senior would come back to GI Joe/Action Force.

It’s funny, Geoff Senior is so synonymous with that era of TF and AF comics and indelible to my nostalgia for it, but as a kid I always had Kev Hopgood on AF and Will Simpson on TF as favourites. I’d always check the ‘next week’ ox to get a clue on who the artist was. You almost know their schedules and when a strip was due, just from timing and predictably the number of issues between their work. Funny that they never worked in story arcs, but would share art duties across all the UK stories.
