G.I. Joe #30

Nov 1985 · Editions Héritage · 1.25 CAD
“Obscurité”

In "Obscurité," Zartan’s deception sends the Joes into a tense game of cat and mouse as he infiltrates McGuire Air Force Base, leading the Commander to pull surveillance from Ft. Wadsworth. When the Dreadnoks attack McGuire instead of the Pit, the Joes must defend the base—uncovering a deeper Cobra scheme. With Billy caught in the crossfire and offered a dangerous choice by the Baroness and Bludd, the mission takes a sharp turn. Written by Larry Hama and illustrated by Frank Springer, with inks by Andy Mushynsky and Pat Redding, and colors by George Roussos, this 1985 issue features a cover by Mike Zeck and John Beatty.

Zartan believes McGuire Air Force base is the Joes' headquarters and infiltrates to confirm, causing the Commander to recall the Guard agent surveilling Ft. Wadsworth (home of the Pit). Hawk is tipped off when the Joes at McGuire return and see the real deal there, causing an assault force to be sent to McGuire to repel any attack. The Joes defend the base when the Dreadnoks attack instead of just making an opening for the Cobra strike force, spoiling the element of surprise. Billy is caught looking into Cobra documents by the Baroness and Bludd and offer him a spot in the resistance.
