G.I. Joe Special Missions #7

Three operatives in civilian clothes — one in a floral shirt, another in purple pants, a third in green tactical gear — plunge through the night sky above a glittering cityscape, with a Cobra-emblazoned rooftop structure below and a shadowy Cobra flag visible in the descent. The cover by Mike Zeck and Bob McLeod captures a thrilling mid-air moment that feels genuinely dangerous, all sharp angles and motion lines against a moody purple sky. "The Old Switcheroo" promises the kind of unconventional G.I. Joe operation this Special Missions spin-off does best, with Larry Hama writing and Herb Trimpe on interior art.
