Hasbrobought Milton Bradley in 1984, ending 124 years of family ownership.In 1985 Hasbro and Milton Bradley created the Commando Attack BoardGame. In 1986 they created this trading card set featuring paintedpackage art fromG.I.Joe: A Real American Hero figures,vehicles, playsets and accessories and stills from the G.I.Joe: AReal American Herocartoon.There are 192 cards and 12stickers total. Eight cards and one sticker were included in eachpack. Evidence has been shown that each pack had the exact sameassortment, so if you bought two packs with the same card visiblethrough the blister, you can expect the same card and stickerassortment in those two packs. Although these cards are markedasSeries One, Series Two was never released in the US.Thesetrading cards are extremely popular on the secondary market, largelydue to the unadorned packaging artwork painted by Hector Garrido forColeman, LiPuma, Segal & Morrill, which handled Hasbro\'s G.I.Joepackaging design and illustration from 1969-1989.TheG.I.Joe: A Real American Hero cartoon was co-produced by MarvelProductions and Sunbow Productions. Sunbow\'s staff wrote scriptsbased on character and vehicle designs provided by Hasbro, thenartists at Marvel Productions drew storyboards based on thesescripts. Animation for all 95 episodeswas outsourced to Toei inJapan, along with the 1987 feature,G.I.Joe: The Movie. The artshown below was storyboarded by Marvel Productions and illustrated byanimators at Toei.

From the middle of the flat dusty Snake River Plain where Alpine was bornhe could see the mountains on the horizon in almost every directionlike a physical barrier between him and the world he wanted. He tookup mountain climbing during college and continued as a recreationalclimber during his brief tenure as an accountant for a largepublishing firm. The G.I.Joe team gave Alpine the mosthazardous of all conditions: with COBRA shooting at him!

\"Every time Alpine scales a sheer cliff piton bypiton, overcoming granite and gravity with muscle and persistence, heis symbolically climbing out of the quagmire of his past. That\'s whywe send him up first on vertical assaults. He doesn\'t take to beingknocked down too easily.\"

Albertgrew up surrounded by mountains in scenic Minidoka, Idaho, seeing thethings all around him. This tended to give him a slightly fenced infeeling, and when he got out of college the man took to mountainclimbing as a recreational sport - mostly in order to defeat thatnotion of captivity. He spent several years as an accountantfor a noted publishing firm, but after growing bored with this heenlisted in the Army. There they transformed him into a highlyskilled mountain trooper, taking advantage of the skills he\'d alreadymastered before enlisting - that and his knack for accounting, thatis.

Whennot balancing his battalion\'s books, for instance, Albert wasconstantly honing his skills as a mountain combatant, a trait thateventually saw him being recruited onto the Gi Joe team. On his veryfirst mission, Albert had to scale a truly impressive mountain: thevolcano on Cobra Island! Though dormant, this rock had justbeen freshly raised from the ocean floor but months ago, making for aparticularly harrowing climb. Since he was there to rescue a fellowJoe, Rip-Cord, Albert didn\'t mind the risks. After all, how oftendoes a body get to climb up something as uncommon as that?

Sincehis mission (and that of the other Joes who came to Cobra Island withhim) was successful, after a fashion, Albert wound up staying withthe Joes for quite a while, though most of his specific jobs,including one involving a Nazi war criminal and antiquated chemicalweapons, remain classified. A member of the team since he firstjoined up in \'85, Albert was cut alongside everybody else when theteam was mothballed ten years later. Luckily, the man has other,non-martial skills to fall back on, and he simply returned toaccounting once he was discharged from the Army.

TheJoe team was eventually reassembled, though, after Cobra made abig-time come-back several years later. While he didn\'t initiallyhook back up with the team, Albert did so after accepting ahigh-paying job that turned out to be for a Cobra front company -this disrupted his family\'s entire life, after all. He cameback just in time to join the team on yet another Cobra Island civilwar, one instigated by a resurrected Serpentor and his mysterious\'Coil\' organization. Surviving this initial battle, Albert stayed oncall for the team to help avert any other major catastrophes Cobrawould cause.
