“Python Patrol”

In "Python Patrol," the G.I. Joe team splits into two fronts: Hawk, Roadblock, and Skidmark advise General Leiderkranz in Wolekuckuckland after he acquires surplus Joe vehicles, while Snake-Eyes, Scarlett, Flint, and Lady Jaye go undercover to uncover a weapons smuggling ring from Darklonia. Meanwhile, Destro, the Baroness, Fred, and Mindbender test a new stealth technology—making vehicles invisible to radar and infrared—on a daring border raid, exploiting a brief moment of compromised surveillance. Written by Larry Hama and illustrated by Tony Salmons with inks by Randy Emberlin, this 1989 issue delivers sharp espionage tension and a clever twist on surveillance, with a cover by Salmons and Emberlin.
