G.I. Joe, a Real American Hero #118

In "Deceptions & Diversions!", Destro becomes the hunted as a bounty draws in every faction—from the Ninja Force to Zartan and even Chuckles—each eager to claim the reward. With the Night Creepers as his final obstacle, Destro uses a shocking threat: he’ll destroy secret Swiss bank accounts tied to the Commander unless the bounty is canceled and the Baroness is freed. Written by Larry Hama and illustrated by Rod Whigham, with inks by Randy Emberlin and colors by Bob Sharen, this tense 1991 issue sees alliances shift and secrets unravel. The cover, by Michael Golden, captures the high-stakes tension of the moment.
