Another favorite issue of mine.Russ Heath's art is AWESOME! Check out the Baroness in her new black leather uniform!

This issue really shows Cobra at the top of their game,I think.Storm Shadow uses a surplus Russian "Badger" bomber and some well-trained Cobra Officers and Soldiers,to track the location and get CC out.Of course,CC "elects" to leave Stormy behind when the going gets rough.

Some highlights-the LAPES(Low-Altitude Parachute Extraction System)gets it's first (GI Joe) use here,we see Rock 'n Roll and Grunt in action again,the poker game-even if they don't really have enough players for a full house to come up in 5 card draw-"Where'd you learn to play poker,the Marines?Don't answer that."

The Commander's helmet details:little hatch for the straw(black coffee through a STRAW?!YECH!!),lined with C-4 explosive to prevent removal by unauthorized personnel,and of course,radio pick-ups.

As General Scarlett pointed out,we also get the first appearances of Wild Weasel,Zartan,and Firefly.Excellent issue!
