I Love Ya But You’re Strange is a feature that spotlights strange but ultimately endearing comic stories. Today, we look at how Barbie’s Marvel comic book career ended with her becoming a superhero!As soon as I started thinking about this issue, all I could think about was Larry Hama’s G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero, and now I really have to write something about that run in the future. What made me think about Hama was the way that, when you’re right a licensed comic book, you’re at the mercy of the licensor, and Hama was probably the most amazing writer in the world in terms of taking whatever product he had to move that month, and work it into a coherent G.I. Joe plot, even when that was darn near impossible (I think what I will do is something like Five Absurd G.I. Joe Toys That Larry Hama Had to Work Into the G.I. Joe Comic Book). However, what SPECIFICALLY made me think about Hama and that context is how the final issue of Marvel’s Barbie comic book was devoted to a tie-in to a short-lived line of Barbie toys.RELATED: Combo Man Was Every Marvel Hero Combined… Because of Snack Food
