G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero #168
In "Cold Plays," the Arctic Joes fight to escape captivity in the Antarctic, racing against time to expose Cobra's long-buried scheme involving subliminal mind control. With Firefly and Crystal Ball attempting to seize control of Colton's laser array in space—supported by Night Creepers who ultimately falter—distrust brews among the team as Dusty confronts Sneak Peek about his mysterious return from the dead. Written by Larry Hama and illustrated by S. L. Gallant with inks by Gary Erskine, colors by J. Brown, and letters by Shawn Lee, this issue’s cover by Gallant and Erskine captures the icy tension of a mission gone perilously cold.

Dusty confronts Sneak Peek as to why he faked his death in Benzheen, but Sneak Peek refuses to divulge anything about his other mission.
