G.I. Joe Comics Magazine #11

In "Beached Whale," Zartan’s deception sets off a chain reaction when he infiltrates McGuire Air Force Base, leading the G.I. Joe Commander to pull surveillance from Ft. Wadsworth. With the Dreadnoks launching a surprise assault on McGuire instead of the planned Cobra strike, the Joes must defend the base while Billy finds himself face-to-face with the Baroness and Bludd—offered a place in a resistance he never expected. Written by Larry Hama and illustrated by Frank Springer, with inks by Andy Mushynsky and Pat Redding, colors by George Roussos, and letters by Rick Parker, this 1988 issue features a cover by Michael Golden and David Mazzucchelli.
