G.I. Joe, a Real American Hero #4

From October 1982, this fourth issue of Marvel's G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero arrives with a cover by Bob Hall and Al Milgrom that puts the team front and center in a scene of full-throttle action — a green-clad Joe leader charges forward with arm raised, flanked by a masked Cobra agent in blue and a red-haired female operative firing her weapon, while soldiers clash and explosions billow dramatically in the background. The ensemble energy of the cover captures exactly what made this series such a compelling read in its early days, with Larry Hama and Herb Trimpe bringing "Operation: Wingfield!" to life inside.
