G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero #182

In G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero #182, as Pale Peony conspires with Zarana and Road Pig to seize control from Darklon, the elusive leader makes a daring escape from the desert—only to vanish into a waiting Python Conquest. Meanwhile, Clutch and Rock & Roll intercept a Crimson Guard envoy on the highway, even as Cobra begins shifting its operations into the shadows. Written by Larry Hama and brought to life by Ron Frenz’s dynamic art, with inks by Sal Buscema, colors by J. Brown, and lettering by Neil Uyetake, the cover by Ron Frenz and Sal Buscema captures the tension in sharp, striking detail.
