About the series
Spinning out of Larry Hama’s main G.I. Joe series at Marvel, G.I. Joe Special Missions (1986–1989) ran for 28 issues, sending Scarlett, Chuckles, and other specialized operatives on covert, self-contained adventures away from the larger team. Anchored by the gritty pencils of Herb Trimpe and early work from Dave Cockrum, the series spotlighted smaller, high-stakes missions that gave deeper focus to individual Joes. It stands as a taut, action-driven companion that expanded the world of the franchise without leaning on the ongoing soap opera.
