☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis second compendium of Larry Hama's classic G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero run collects issues from the Marvel era, continuing the ongoing war between the Joes and Cobra. It features the introduction of fan-favorite characters like Serpentor, Jinx, and the Dreadnoks, as well as major storylines such as the creation of Serpentor and the battle for Springfield. This volume is a cornerstone of 1980s military-adventure comics, showcasing Hama's signature blend of character-driven drama and tactical action.
"G.I. Joe Special Missions: Best Defense" delivers a tense, grounded mission in the heart of Borovia, where Stalker, Snow Job, Outback, and Quick Kick face a deadly trap after a failed rescue. Written by Larry Hama and illustrated by Marshall Rogers, with inks by Danny Bulanadi, colors by B. Sharen, and letters by J. Rosen, this story pulses with urgency as the team’s survival hinges on sacrifice and secrecy. Andy Kubert’s cover captures the mission’s high stakes, while the narrative unfolds with the weight of a mission gone wrong and a quiet, personal reckoning on the horizon.

Stalker, Snow Job, Outback, and Quick Kick are sent into Borovia to rescue a newsman accused of spying for the U.S., and the attempt is failed when they learn he was released in a spy exchange. As they attempt their own escape, Outback is told by Stalker to escape as the others are wounded and Spigou (their contact) is dead, so their story can be relayed back. The Commander has decided to quit Cobra so he can give himself and Billy a better life and is shot by Fred as vengeance for all that Fred sacrificed to be part of Cobra. Hawk has sent word there will be no rescue for the Joes in Borovia.
