G.I. Joe Special Missions #15

A nighttime wall-scaling confrontation takes center stage on this November 1988 entry in Marvel's G.I. Joe Special Missions series, with a black-clad Joe operative dangling from a grappling hook while a knife-wielding enemy fighter above presses the attack against a moonlit stone facade. Ron Wagner's cover artwork — both pencils and inks — captures the tense, vertical struggle with real kinetic energy, leaving no doubt that this month's story, "…and Into the Fire!," lives up to its title. With Larry Hama scripting and Herb Trimpe on interior art, fans of sharp, mission-driven storytelling have every reason to pick this one up.
