G.I. Joe Special Missions #10

Three civilians caught in a deadly crossfire — a man in a bold yellow suit wielding a pistol, a woman in a floral shirt, and a figure in green brandishing a knife — stand ringed by armed soldiers closing in from every direction on this tense 1988 Marvel cover. Ron Wagner and Bob McLeod stage the standoff with real kinetic energy, the hot-pink floor beneath the trio making them feel utterly exposed against the encircling blue-tinted gunmen. G.I. Joe Special Missions #10 promises the kind of street-level tension that made this spin-off series such a satisfying companion to the main title.
