GI JOE ORDER OF BATTLE #1. THE OFFICIAL GI JOE HANDBOOK
OUT OF PRINT. HARD TO FIND COLLECTOR'S ITEMS. #1
Published in 1986.
GI JOE ORDER OF BATTLE was a series published by Marvel Comics in late 1986. Not a comic book in the ordinary sense of the word, instead it contained illustrated biographies describing current GI JOES of that period.
Basically compiles the character file cards from the GI JOE packaging, although there are some differences.
With that knowledge in mind, it's no exaggeration to say that the GI JOE ORDER OF BATTLE is an invaluable source of information.
The first issue has bios of members of the G.I. Joe team in alphabetical order from A-L.

STAR WARS 3-D #2 COMIC BOOK! HARD TO FIND COLLECTOR'S ITEM. THIS IS ONE OF THE RAREST STAR WARS COMICS EVER!
Published in 1988 by the indie comic book company Blackthorne, this has an EXTREMELY LOW PRINT RUN because this was a period where very little in the way of Star Wars product was still being produced.
Star Wars 3-D is an unusual and long-forgotten title. Commemorating the 10th anniversary of the release of Star Wars, it was one of the few titles published in the United States outside the offices of Marvel or Dark Horse. Undoubtedly the reason it went to Blackthorne in the first place was because they had built experience publishing in 3-D prior to obtaining their limited Star Wars license. Lucas, as his recent efforts to convert the existing movies into 3-D attests, was likely fascinated by the prospect of doing something "special" for the anniversary. And so Star Wars went briefly to a minor publisher.
it stood alone for around 20 years as the only comic printed after the completion of the original trilogy which was set entirely between Episodes IV and V. Indeed, there are few novels which have been published in that period.
And its stories did attempt to add something new to the mythos. It rationally answered questions that were largely ignored by the trilogy:
• Who got the Lars farm on Tatooine after Luke? • Following the destruction of the first Death Star, did the Rebels really have time to build that base on Hoth all by themselves? • And when, really, was the first time Luke did battle with Darth Vader?
Luke and Han depart Tatooine following their last 3-D adventure.
They head back to the Rebel base on Yavin 4, only to find it encircled by Imperial forces. Han craftily lands the Falcon near one of the Rebel bases on the planet, but it's abandoned. The duo lift off again, hoping that a coded message from Leia will lead them to the fleet's location. It does, but Leia and the other leaders are now desperate to find a new base. Han suggests Hoth, an ice planet far removed from normal space traffic.
Leia approves a plan to scout the planet for possible habitability. Heading out into the snow, the duo take the Rebels' first, tentative steps on Hoth.
Unbeknownst to both, smuggler Salmakk has made Hoth his home. From his base, he plans to capture Han and turn him in for Jabba's still-unclaimed bounty.
How Luke and Han get out of their first tricky situation on Hoth paves the way for the foundation of Echo Base . . . This item was not sold in any mass market retail outlet and could only be found in comic book specialty stores.
