I first read this as a reprint in Marvel UK's Action Force Weekly title. It was bookended by a couple of UK-originated strips dealing with Scarlett's abduction and the aftermath with Cobra Commander, Destro and Storm Shadow. Those had dialogue as usual and I barely noticed the lack of speech in the #21 part -- I guess that shows how good Hama's visual storytelling abilities were and how naturally the action in that issue flows without the need to speech.

For the most part, I liked the SS/SE connection -- the mystery and soap opera gave the book a continuity to follow that went deeper than the Joes foiling Cobra's world domination plots. This was a relatively subtle way of starting all that and for those reading it when it came out I can only imagine the level of intrigue that last page brought up!
