G.I. Joe, a Real American Hero #13

"Last Plane from Rio Lindo" delivers a tense, tightly wound thriller in G.I. Joe, a Real American Hero #13 (1983), where the fate of Snake-Eyes, Kwinn, and Dr. Venom hangs in the balance after a brutal ambush traps them beneath the waves. Written by Larry Hama and illustrated with gritty precision by Mike Vosburg—inked by Jon D'Agostino and colored by Bob Sharen—the issue pulses with suspense as Stalker, Breaker, and Gung-Ho scramble to evacuate Rio Lindo, unaware their comrades are still alive and playing a deeper game. The cover by Mike Vosburg and Jon D'Agostino captures the urgency, while the story’s final Morse Code signal hints at a deception far larger than the surface reveals.
