G.I. Joe, a Real American Hero #21
In "Silent Interlude," Scarlett’s routine parachute drop takes a dangerous turn when Storm Shadow captures her and delivers her to Destro’s Castle as a gift for Cobra Commander. With Scarlett held captive and the mission cloaked in silence, Snake-Eyes must move unseen through enemy lines to rescue her—only to uncover a startling connection between them, revealed through a shared tattoo on their right forearms. Written and drawn by Larry Hama, with inks by Steve Leialoha and colors by George Roussos, this tense, stealth-driven tale unfolds with quiet intensity. The cover, by Ed Hannigan and Klaus Janson, captures the moment of suspense with striking precision.
