In "Gas Masque!", the Action Force faces a new threat as the Soft Master aids Snake-Eyes and the team in repelling an assault by Destro, Firefly, and Fred I on a mountain outpost. Meanwhile, the Baroness and Bludd escalate their conspiracy to eliminate Cobra Commander, enlisting Billy—returning to Springfield with the Dreadnoks and Storm Shadow—as their unwitting weapon. With Fred I’s death in the Sierras, the Pit welcomes fresh recruits, including the new Fred II, as the mission grows more dangerous. Written by Larry Hama and illustrated by Frank Springer, with inks by Andy Mushynsky, colors by George Roussos, and letters by Rick Parker, this 1987 issue features a cover by Will Simpson.
