G.I. Joe, a Real American Hero #98

In "He's Back!", the G.I. Joe team faces a shocking twist as the long-dead Commander returns—alive and vengeful—after being felled by Fred VII’s shot. Written by Larry Hama and illustrated by M. D. Bright, with inks by Randy Emberlin and colors by Bob Sharen, this pivotal 1990 issue sees the Commander reclaim his leadership, while tensions rise as Hawk and Hollingsworth confront the Jugglers over the future of the team. The cover by Lee Weeks captures the moment’s intensity, setting the stage for a storm of loyalty, betrayal, and buried secrets.
