Another winner! To me,Hama shows just how much he could pack into one issue here-very dignified funerals for Kwinn and General Flagg( check out Snake-Eyes' body language as he sits in the Dragonfly ),action with Gung-Ho and the intro of the Rattler-not to mention Duke & Roadblock,two of my faves! Duke is particularly impressive as a 'Hard Corps' Top Sergeant.
We also get humor with Scarlett,Clutch,Cover Girl,Snowjob,Short-Fuse,Flash,and Torpedo......an excellent technical layout for the new 'PIT'......a plausible explanation for how Storm Shadow captured Scarlett in #21,a good look at the Team in Class 'A' uniforms.........hmm-dosen't the fact that Stalker & Snake-Eyes are wearing Green Berets with their uni's mean they are Special Forces Soldiers,notwithstanding WHAT their Filecards say?
There's also intrigue with the Baroness and Bludd,and last but not least,Dr. Venom gets the ignoble grave his villany has earned.........
Weirdly enough,a few days after I was given this comic as a child,I read a book about ghosts and hauntings of England........the title of this issue is from an old English poem about Death-"And Golden Girls And Lads All Must,Like Chimney Sweepers,Come To Dust"...............
