G.I. Joe: Origins #20

In G.I. Joe: Origins #20, Dr. Lester Horvath recounts how the International Humanitarian Aid Foundation—secretly controlled by Cobra—uses the Lome test to identify future operatives, a psychological assessment rooted in the disturbing theories of serial killer Albert Lome. When Horvath discovers a promising candidate in Michael Monk, he begins a recruitment process that blurs the line between humanitarian mission and covert indoctrination. Written by David Lapham and illustrated by Werther Dell'Edera, with colors by J. Brown and letters by Neil Uyetake, the issue’s cover by Tom Feister captures the tension of a man on the edge of a dangerous choice.
