G.I. Joe, a Real American Hero #80

In "Rolling Thunder," the G.I. Joe team and Cobra clash over a newly formed, volatile island born from the ocean floor—its instability a direct consequence of the seismic event triggered in issues #41 and #42. With the ground shifting beneath them and the island beginning to sink, both sides struggle to maintain control, culminating in a tense evacuation as the Joes are airlifted to safety while the Cobras are left scrambling to swim back, their air and ground transports lost. Written by Larry Hama and illustrated by Ron Wagner, with inks by Tom Palmer, colors by Bob Sharen, and letters by Jim Novak, the cover by Ron Wagner and Bob McLeod captures the chaos of the moment in striking detail.
