Aug 1985 · Marvel · 0.75 USD; 0.50 GBP; 1.00 CAD
“Judgments”

In "Judgments," the G.I. Joe team splits to tackle two urgent missions: one infiltrates a seemingly ordinary suburban home hiding a Cobra cell, unaware it's linked to Candy’s father, while another launches a daring rescue in Sierra Gordo to free Dr. Burkhart. Meanwhile, Storm Shadow makes a pivotal choice, turning against Cobra to save Billy after his father’s interrogation. Written by Larry Hama and illustrated by Rod Whigham, with inks by Andy Mushynsky and colors by G. Roussos, this 1985 issue delivers tense action and shifting loyalties. The cover, by Mike Zeck and John Beatty, captures the moment of high stakes and hidden identities.

A team of Joes infiltrate a suburban house that is a hotbed of Cobra activity, which is later discovered to belong to Candy's father when she arrives on-scene later after the Twins and a Guardsman escape the Joes from the site. Another team of Joes invade Sierra Gordo to rescue Dr. Burkhart (again). Storm Shadow betrays Cobra by rescuing Billy from the clutches of his father after he was interrogated about his role in the failed assassination.
