G.I. Joe, a Real American Hero #28

Oct 1984 · Marvel · 0.60 USD; 0.30 GBP; 0.75 CAD
“Swampfire!”

In "Swampfire!", the G.I. Joe team races into the Everglades to take down Zartan’s hideout, while the Baroness plots an assassination in Springfield—setting off a chain of high-stakes maneuvers across two fronts. With Destro and Firefly launching a new threat using the Rattler jets, the Joes fight back from the W.H.A.L.E. and Dragonfly, narrowly keeping the Commander one step ahead, as Zartan and the Dreadnoks vanish northward, leaving Firefly behind to clean up the aftermath. Written by Larry Hama and illustrated by Marie Severin, with inks by Andy Mushynsky, colors by George Roussos, and letters by Rick Parker, this 1984 Marvel issue features a cover by Mike Zeck and John Beatty.

A Joe strike force begins to converge on Zartan's hideout in the Everglades as the Baroness goes to Springfield to speak with an imprisoned Bludd to arrange for an assassination. Destro and Firefly attack the Joes using the new tanksmasher jets (Rattlers), but are repelled by the Joes in the W.H.A.L.E. and Dragonfly, as the Commander escapes their grasp yet again, with Firefly left behind to clean up the 'mess' at the hideout, as Zartan heads north with the Dreadnoks to locate the Pit.
