G.I.Joe Fact and Yearbook
In 1985, Ventura Books published the G.I.Joe Fact and Yearbook, pictured above. A paperback, it had one hundred sixty black&white pages.
In addition to reprinting Marvel Comics G.I.Joe Yearbook #1 (including the reprint of G.I.Joe #1 "Lady Doomsday"), the book had sixty pages of dossiers and filecards of Joes and Cobras (some reprints of the filecards, some taken from the dossiers in G.I.Joe Yearbook #1). There was also a portfolio of G.I.Joe stickers, a few G.I.Joe puzzles and brain-teasers, and a few miscellaneous pages of drawings, military facts, and other information about G.I.Joe.
The price on the cover was $2.95. The cover is recognizable as the artwork for the 1985 catalog.
