In G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero #188, a high-stakes rescue mission unfolds when a hijacked ship puts Dr. Burkhart in peril, prompting the Joes to launch a daring boarding operation. But the pirates aren’t acting alone—the Red Shadows are pulling strings, unleashing a towering cyborg and deploying a cutting-edge war machine against the Joes’ W.H.A.L.E. team. Written by Larry Hama and brought to life by S. L. Gallant’s dynamic art and Gary Erskine’s sharp inks, the cover by Gallant and Erskine captures the intensity of the clash.
