G.I. Joe #7

In G.I. Joe #7, Gung-Ho, Ripcord, and Blowtorch find themselves in a tense standoff with the Crimson Guard and their enigmatic leaders, Tomax and Xamot, during a seemingly simple mission to deliver balloons to the Arbco Brothers Circus—only to be joined by new recruits Flint and Footloose. As the twins make a daring escape and a personal rift forms between Ripcord and Candy, the mission takes a sharp turn into uncharted territory. Written by Larry Hama and illustrated by Frank Springer, with inks by Andy Mushynsky and colors by George Roussos, the issue’s cover by Mike Zeck and John Beatty captures the escalating tension with striking precision.
