G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero #161

"G.I. Joe Is Back!" marks a pivotal moment in the IDW series as the team returns to full strength, launching a daring rescue of Chuckles from Cobra's hidden remnants beneath the ruins of Springfield. With the Pit III reactivated and Storm Shadow in custody, the Joes face a tense standoff—especially when the Baroness reveals that the brainwashed Snake-eyes might be their key to infiltrating Cobra’s inner sanctum. Written by Larry Hama and illustrated by S. L. Gallant, with inks by Gary Erskine and colors by J. Brown, the issue blends high-stakes action with lingering questions, all framed by Herb Trimpe’s classic cover art.
