G.I. Joe Special Missions #8

A firefight erupts on the cover of this December 1987 entry in Marvel's G.I. Joe Special Missions series, with cover art by Mike Zeck and Bob McLeod depicting a chaotic jungle ambush in vivid detail. Soldiers in camouflage scramble and dive for cover as a green-clad figure levels a submachine gun at point-blank range, muzzle flashes lighting up the scene while brown-uniformed enemies advance through the foliage in the background. Titled "Ambush" and crafted inside by writer Larry Hama and artist Herb Trimpe, this issue delivers the kind of tense, ground-level military action that made Special Missions a satisfying companion to the main G.I. Joe series.
