Nintendo Comics System #3

In "Team Play," the mischievous Pionpi breaks free from a Game Boy and hijacks Herman’s car, fleeing to a remote island where he begins constructing a fortress to launch Tatanga’s invasion. Meanwhile, Mario materializes from another Game Boy—this time aboard a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier—just as the real-world stakes of the game begin to escalate. Written by George Caragonne and illustrated by Paris Cullins, with inks by Art Nichols, colors by Rainbowhead, and letters by Jade, this 1991 issue blends arcade adventure with unexpected real-world consequences. Cover by Rainbowhead.
