G.I. Joe #38

When rookie replacement Sam Britton joins Baker Company, he's eager to hear combat stories from the veterans—eager to understand the glory he missed. But the seasoned soldiers brush him off, unwilling to relive what they'd rather forget. After a harrowing truck accident leaves Britton the sole survivor of a dangerous rescue, he finally understands why his buddies kept silent about the things that matter most.

When Windy has a hot date in town but gets caught up in a three-day military bivouac, he'll stop at nothing to make the rendezvous—with some hilarious (and increasingly desperate) escape attempts that drag his reluctant buddy along for the ride. Between sneaking under fences, hiding in garbage trucks, and commandeering a jeep with a tree in tow, this soldier's determination to see his girl leads to one chaotic night that nearly blows their cover come morning. The Yardbirds prove that no amount of military discipline can stop a lovesick G.I. with a plan—even when that plan spectacularly backfires.

G.I. Joe tells an eager group of children his own swashbuckling take on "Jack and the Beanstalk"—a tale where a determined boy trades his family's eggs for a magic bean, climbs a towering beanstalk into the clouds, and encounters a giant with enchanted cards. When the boy sets his sights on those magical cards, he'll have to outwit the giant and make a daring escape back down the vine. It's a classic tall tale given a spirited spin, full of quick wit and narrow escapes.

Ready-Money Reilly sees a goldmine when a fellow G.I. named Otis shows him a funny comic strip called "Beautiful Benny of Company B"—and he wastes no time buying the rights to syndicate it. What starts as a modest military newspaper venture explodes into a nationwide sensation, with "Beautiful Benny" appearing in hundreds of papers and spawning dolls, novelties, and even a movie deal. But as success spirals, tensions mount between the ambitious Reilly and his reluctant cartoonist, with complications threatening to derail the whole operation.
