I went to the Gap at the closest mall to me this weekend and they didnt’ have any. The lady told me that only the Gap stores in larger cities (like New York) carried printed character shirts like that.

I did score a Joe shirt at HotTopic, though. They had 5 or 6 designs. None of them were comic covers, but they were still cool.

Dang, you have a good memory! And, in fact, Destro kind’uv scolds Cobra Commander for using the “Tanksmasher Prototype” before all the “modifications and tests” were completed.

It’s likely that the cover to #22 was chosen because Destro is a huge player in the G.I. Joe movie and that cover makes him look menacing enough. But the ironic thing is that Destro isn’t even responsible for the Joes being strafed at the funeral, it’s really Cobra Commander’s idea. Destro was more busy obsessing over the apparent loss of the Baroness in these issues. Maybe the cover to #14 might have been a better choice if they wanted to do a Joes versus Destro shirt as the scene depicted there is much better suited.

LOL. Yes – but, again, I found these at a Gap outlet store. I did search the online store and could not find them. Keep us posted what you find!

As I was reading your comment I remembered having a Joe shirt when I was about 12. I can’t remember it exactly but it had a few characters including Gung Ho. I loved it. I recall wearing it one cool day in the early Spring and an adult saying to me that it was a bit cold to be just wearing a tee shirt. Like I cared!

Wow those are at the Gap? I’ll have to hit the mall up. I’d flip for either one of those. Especially the Destro one.
