Read more about Cover Girl at: Wikipedia Official Site: Hasbro Cover Girl is a fictional character from the G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero toyline comic books and cartoon series. She is a tank jockey, specializing in the Wolverine missile tank, and debuted in 1983. Cover Girl's real name is Courtney A. Krieger, and she was born in Peoria, Illinois. Prior to joining G.I. Joe, Cover Girl was a highly successful fashion model in Chicago and New York, and graced the covers of countless magazines. She eventually found the world of modeling unfulfilling, and joined the army to seek out new challenges in life. Cover Girl attended Armor School at Fort Knox and related tech schools, and felt very driven to master distinctly unfeminine traits, in order to prove that she was not just a pretty face. She is a qualified expert in diesel mechanics, gas turbine technology, LAW rocket, Dragon A/T Missile, M-16 and M-1911A auto pistol. To date, only three action figures of the character have been released. The first figure released was named "Cover Girl" in 1983 and was packaged with the Wolverine tank. Cover Girl waited 22 years for a second toy, when she was released in the Devil's Due Fans' Choice three-pack of figures (along with Spirit Ironknife and Hannibal: Reborn), but her codename was dropped, with the packaging referring to her as "Agent Courtney Kreiger."
