G.I. Joe, a Real American Hero #50

In "The Battle of Springfield," the G.I. Joe team pushes through a brutal urban siege to reclaim the city, rescuing Ripcord just as Cobra’s forces retreat to Cobra Island. Storm Shadow’s shocking return—thanks to a forgotten ninja ruse—brings a haunting connection to Serpentor’s origins, while Hawk faces the fallout as evidence vanishes. Written by Larry Hama and illustrated by Rod Whigham, with inks by Andy Mushynsky and colors by George Roussos, this pivotal issue delivers high-stakes action and emotional weight. Mike Zeck and John Beatty’s cover captures the intensity of the final clash.
