G.I. Joe: Frontline #5

The "Icebound" arc kicks off in this 2003 Image entry in the G.I. Joe: Front Line series, with a cover by Tony Harris that plunges viewers into a freezing, turbulent environment — a military helicopter bearing down through icy blue waters or atmosphere, while a figure in combat gear struggles below it, caught in the chaos of rotor wash and swirling cold. Harris's linework gives the whole scene a kinetic, almost disorienting energy that perfectly suits the story title's promise of frozen-terrain danger. With Dan Jolley and Drew Johnson among the creative team inside, this is a solid chapter-one issue with a cover that wastes no time setting a tense, elemental mood.
