Aug 1987 · Marvel · 1.00 USD; 1.25 CAD; 0.40 GBP
“Transit”

In "Transit," the G.I. Joe team grapples with tension and uncertainty as they await news of their captured comrades in Borovia, their frustration heightened by Outback’s silence. Meanwhile, Billy continues his ninja training under the Blind Master, Jinx and Raptor keep watch on their own path, and the fate of the imprisoned Joes is sealed with a harsh sentence in a remote gulag. Written by Larry Hama and illustrated by William Johnson and Arvell Jones, with inks by Andy Mushynsky and colors by Bob Sharen, the issue captures quiet intensity beneath the surface of action. The cover by Mike Zeck and Bob McLeod captures the weight of the moment.

In Utah, the Joes sit and stew about their captured comrades in Borovia, especially when Outback returns, and can't tell them what happened; the commotion causes Gung-Ho later to tell them to be quiet as they can hear the noise all the down on the third level(?). Billy continues his ninja training with the Blind master and Jinx as Raptor follows Jinx and Billy elsewhere after helping Fred bury the late Commander. Meanwhile, the captured Joes in Borovia are convicted of several trumped up crimes and sentenced to five consecutive life terms at a gulag for each member.
