G.I. Joe, a Real American Hero #72

In "Stiletto," Star-Viper strikes at The Pit III headquarters in Utah, stealing a high-tech black box capable of intercepting every U.S. spy satellite signal, setting off a chain of tension across both Joes and Cobra. As two new Joes join the ranks, the island of Cobra teeters with secrets—Fred and the Baroness hide a forbidden romance, Serpentor plots behind the scenes, and Minh remains stranded after his boat was destroyed, now under the watchful eye of the new security chief, Croc Master. Written by Larry Hama and illustrated by Ron Wagner, with inks by Randy Emberlin, colors by Bob Sharen, and letters by Rick Parker, this 1988 issue features a cover by Ron Wagner and Bob McLeod.
