About the series
Larry Hama, the defining voice of G.I. Joe, returned to IDW for this taut 2011 miniseries, teaming with legendary artist Herb Trimpe. G.I. Joe: Special Missions stripped the franchise down to its core, focusing on small, elite strike teams operating in the shadows for high-risk covert operations. Across four issues, it delivered a lean, military-focused counterpoint to the larger ongoing series, showcasing the Joes in their element as the world's most dangerous special-ops unit.
