G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero #166
In "Broca Beach Blanket Bingo," the G.I. Joe team keeps watch off the coast of Broca Beach, where a seemingly innocent heliport hides Cobra's true operations. When Destro and the Baroness arrive by helicopter, the Joes' surveillance turns into a tense standoff—only for the Commander to misinterpret the situation, launching a sea assault that leaves both sides battered but intact. Written by Larry Hama and illustrated by Ron Wagner, with inks by Gary Erskine and colors by J. Brown, this 2011 IDW issue blends espionage and miscommunication in a high-stakes coastal encounter, all capped by a cover by Ron Wagner and Larry Hama.

Off Broca Beach, the Joes are on a surveillance mission, watching for Cobra activity off of the beach's pier. They see a helicopter arrive carrying Destro and the Baroness towards the pier, which is a heliport in disguise. At the base, Destro tells the Commander he's going back to his castle with the Baroness. After leaving, the Commander spots the Joe team and blames Destro for it. He sends out a sea assault aimed at both Destro and the Joes. It fails as both groups survive, albeit damaged on their respective crafts. Each group goes their own way back to their respective bases.
