G.I. Joe, a Real American Hero #112

In "Who's the Hero?", the G.I. Joe team splits under pressure as the ninjas battle the night creepers during a recon mission, only to be drawn into a trap after a Tele-Viper reports a five-minute communications blackout. With the Commander realizing the Joes are in Benzheen, Stalker's team emerges from the shadows—having jammed the signals themselves—to join forces with the ninjas and Flint's captured unit, but not before Cool Breeze pays the ultimate price. As Hawk faces the grim task of burying eight fallen comrades, the stakes rise in this tense, pivotal chapter written by Larry Hama and illustrated by John Statema, with inks by Randy Emberlin and colors by Bob Sharen. The cover, by Lee Weeks, captures the moment's intensity.
