G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero #254

In "Special Missions Part Four: Destro," the tension mounts as Destro showcases MARS' advanced technology to the wary Sheik Ali in the desert region of Qnrrh. When an unexpected assault cripples Ali's defenses, Destro and the Baroness step in to save his life—only for Ali to misinterpret the event as a calculated test of strength. Written by Larry Hama and illustrated by Netho Diaz with inks by Alisson Rodrigues and Jagdish Kumar, this issue deepens the intrigue with a twist that reveals Destro's true hand behind the chaos. The cover, by Marcelo Ferreira, captures the high-stakes atmosphere of the desert conflict.
