G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero #174

In G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero #174, the conflict in Benzheen escalates as the Joes and former Oktober Guard clash with invading H.I.S.S. tanks, while Storm Shadow and Snake-Eyes pursue the elusive Blue Ninjas. Meanwhile, Cobra Commander, mourning Billy’s death, vows revenge and seeks to seize the Blue Ninjas’ advanced technology, even as Destro questions Baroness about her feelings for the fallen. Written by Larry Hama and illustrated by S. L. Gallant with inks by Gary Erskine, colors by J. Brown, and letters by Neil Uyetake, the issue’s cover by Gallant and Erskine captures the tension of a war where alliances shift and old enemies may not be who they seem.
