G.I. Joe, a Real American Hero #60

In "Cross Purposes," General Hawk teams up with a clandestine group of New Jersey men who believe they're G.I. Joes, guarding a secret missile—only to find themselves racing against Zarana and the Dreadnoks to prevent a catastrophic launch. Written by Larry Hama and illustrated by Todd McFarlane, with inks by Andy Mushynsky and colors by Bob Sharen, this 1987 issue blends high-stakes tension with the series’ signature military intrigue. The cover by Mike Zeck and Joe Rubinstein captures the moment of crisis, as the fate of the missile hangs in the balance.
