“The Commander Escapes!”

In "The Commander Escapes!", the Joes hold the line atop a desolate mountain, but Cobra’s relentless assault—led by Storm Shadow—threatens to break their grip. With the Commander’s escape underway and Storm Shadow captured, new faces in the Cobra ranks, including Firefly and Wild Weasel, make contact with Zartan in the Florida swamps, setting the stage for a new phase in the conflict. Written by Larry Hama and brought to life with dynamic art by Russ Heath and color by George Roussos, this 1984 issue captures the tension and momentum of the G.I. Joe saga. The cover, a striking piece by Ashley Wood, adds a modern flair to the classic action.
