B.A.T. DIOSTORY : ROBOT WARS : A COBRA TALE !

Why am i doing it ? It all started back in the eighties. My first encounter with G.I.Joe was on television. The cartoon was top notch : action-packed adventures, dramatic storylines, and animation among the best of what that era of violent cartoons (Transformers, Mask, Visionaries, He-Man, ...) had to offer. But what really pulled me in was this toy catalog. Brilliantly formatted as short comic-like photo stories, it really brought the characters to life. I was instantly converted to fandom of G.I.Joe, the International Hero.
By the time i discovered G.I.Joe was merely a Real American Hero, it was too late. I was already hooked to the peculiar mix of realistic military look with futuristic science-fiction themes. Later, the cartoon vanished from the air and the action figures from the store shelves, but i always maintained a certain interest in the toys, not in the least because they kept showing up at local flea markets.
Then the Internet came along, with inspiring websites like JMM's and the late Zartan's Domain. It wasn't long before my childhood G.I.Joe collection became the subject of a section of my own personal website. The B.A.T.'s Lair was born. Given my focus on the toys, whose filecards share more continuity with the comics than with the cartoons, this website follows the storylines of the main Marvel and Devil's Due comic continuity.
The B.A.T.'s Lair is part of The Museum, my personal website about things i find interesting. Feel free to leave a message in the Guestbook of the Museum, which serves as guestbook for all sites that belong to the Museum, including The B.A.T.'s Lair. There's also another G.I.Joe-related website in the Museum : Tiger Force Headquarters.
