G.I. Joe Special Missions #13

In "Washout," G.I. Joe faces a high-stakes mission in Trucial Abysmia with a new probationary recruit, Mangler, testing his worth amid danger. Written by Larry Hama and illustrated by Herb Trimpe, this 1988 issue captures the tension and sacrifice of a soldier still finding his place, with inks by Andy Mushynsky, colors by Nel Yomtov, and letters by Phil Felix. The cover, by Ron Wagner and Bob McLeod, sets the tone for a mission where loyalty is put to the ultimate test.
