G.I. Joe #43

In this pivotal issue of G.I. Joe, Wade makes a dramatic decision to leave Cobra after a heartfelt conversation with Snake-Eyes and Stalker, taking his new family with him. Meanwhile, the Soft Master makes a final, tragic stand in Springfield, diverting a missile meant for a crashed car—only to unleash another that claims the lives of Candy, a drunk driver, and Billy, all caught in the wreckage. Written by Larry Hama and illustrated by Rod Whigham with inks by Andy Mushynsky and colors by George Roussos, the story unfolds with emotional weight and high stakes, while Mike Zeck and John Beatty deliver the intense cover.
