The GI Joe Adventure Team "Devil of the Deep"

In 1974, Hasbro launched The GI Joe Adventure Team "Devil of the Deep" as a single-issue comic, a standalone tale that expanded the toy line's lore with a deep-sea menace. This one-shot represents an early, pre-A Real American Hero era of GI Joe, focusing on the Adventure Team's military-adjacent exploits against a monstrous, underwater threat. While a brief entry, it's a notable artifact of 1970s action-figure tie-in comics, capturing the pulpy, globe-trotting spirit that defined the brand before its 1980s reinvention.
