Story Featuring G.I. Joe
cover depicts Snake-Eyes in new uniform from toyline (1985 series), but inside art shows him still wearing his old uniform (cover artist's error?). Zeck pencils credit confirmed and Beatty inks credit supplied by www.mikezeck.com (15 June 2011).
As a result of the Joes' actions last issue, an island has been raised outside of the three-mile territorial limit of the U.S. The Joes have been ordered to kick off Cobra before they can claim sovereignty over it, but fail due to the Crimson Guard's (disguised as lawyers) actions under the Commander's orders while the battle is happening, which makes the island now part of Cobra, and in turn makes them a sovereign nation.
Dr. Appel is incorrectly identified as Guardsman Jones this issue.
