G.I. Joe, a Real American Hero #43

In "Crossroads," the fate of a renegade Cobra operative hangs in the balance as Wade, after a pivotal conversation with Snake-Eyes and Stalker, chooses to leave the organization—taking his new family with him. Meanwhile, the Soft Master makes a desperate, self-sacrificing move to protect innocents, only to be drawn into a deadly chain of events triggered by Firefly’s orders, as a missile meant to eliminate witnesses seals the fate of three strangers caught in a tragic accident. Written by Larry Hama and illustrated by Rod Whigham, with inks by Andy Mushynsky, colors by George Roussos, and letters by Joe Rosen, this 1986 Marvel issue features a cover by Mike Zeck and John Beatty.
