GI Joe and their Russian counterparts, the Oktober Guard, must set aside their differences and work together if they are to stop a Top Secret weapon from falling into the hands of Cobra. 32 pages, FC. NOTE: This issue sports an amazing, dynamic cover. At the time this story was released, the Cold War was at its height and this was truly an amazing sight to behold - America and Russia, fighting side-by-side for the greater good. This is easily one of my all time favorite Joe tales in the history of the franchise. - Odinson, Lone Star Comics Archivist Cover price $0.60.
