Lift-Ticket

Lift-Ticket is a G.I. Joe helicopter pilot introduced in Marvel's long-running G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero series, serving the elite counter-terrorism team as a skilled aviator. His specialty lies in combat helicopter operations, flying the Tomahawk transport chopper on dangerous missions.

Lift-Ticket touched down in the pages of G.I. Joe, a Real American Hero #49 in 1986, a Copper Age debut crafted by the legendary Larry Hama and Rod Whigham at Marvel Comics. Sharing missions with heavy-hitters like Roadblock and Hawk across nearly four decades of publication, this character has quietly accumulated a solid presence in the G.I. Joe universe — from the flagship Marvel series to the crossover spectacle of G.I. Joe and the Transformers. With 24 catalog appearances spanning all the way to 2025 and at least one collector-recognized key issue to their name, Lift-Ticket is a rewarding discovery for fans who love digging into the deeper roster of one of comics' most beloved military action franchises.
