Many of the HIPPO's (Hi Posting Professional On-liners) run roughshod and in cahoots on these chatboards, ruining the joy for those of us whom love comics, and who can appreciate looking at registry sets, and enjoy looking up census data and all things and everything else comics related that these CGC chatboards have to offer. Many of these same people, who post ad naseum and without merit about anything and everything are the same people who disappear when some of the best things these boards have to offer come along like comic book polls including the recent" silver age hierarchy poll" and the great: "all time greatest war comics cover poll" (which will be or was already included in the next overstreet)

 

 

You joined in 2014, and you've already got this place and everyone here figured out. Impressive.

 

Also, I'm not sure how people's posting habits stops you from looking at registry sets and census data.

Larry Hama's GI Joe: A Real American Hero and Special Missions > 1950's War Comics.

 

BTW... if you go back and take a look 1950's War Comics (the boardie) there were some very interesting subjects that came up in Hama's run. Special Missions 2 instantly comes to mind when the Government sends the Joes to Argentina to retrieve the sequence code to disarm poison gas located on a plane buried in the ice in Greenland. The former SS officer will hand over the codes to disarm the gas if the Joes protect the SS officer from an Israeli Nazi hunting team and allow the SS officer to receive sanctuary in the US. The Joes are ordered to disarm the gas and protect the SS Officer from the Nazi Hunters.

 

How does it turn out? Read Special Missions 2

Happy to oblige.

 

While one Joe team is in Argentina, the other team in Greenland encounters Cobra who is looking to take the gas for themselves. The Joes quickly defeat Cobra (I am sure Hasbro wanted them in every comic somehow and they only make a fleeting appearance in this issue) and are able to disarm the gas on their own. While they are securing the area they come across the flight log from the wreckage and are able to deduce that the SS Officer betrayed the other Nazis on the plane and it's gold carrying escort by faking a malfunction and forcing the gold carrying plane to land and assist. After killing the crew of the gold carrying plane he flew off to Argentina.

 

The SS officer cites that the Joes have orders to protect him from the Israeli's who are in the room with the Joes and the SS Officer's bodyguards (who make up the families of other SS officers who escaped to Argentina). Lance "Clutch" Steinberg explains the situation to everyone in the room and maintains that he will follow orders and keep the SS Officer safe from the Israeli's but says that the agreement does not reach so far as to protect him from the SS Officer's "own kind."

 

Clutch walks off the compound with a thousand yard stare (excellent Trimpe pencils in this issue BTW) as you hear the gunshots in the background as the SS Officer meets his maker.

 

Cover was by Zeck and one of his best if you ask me.

Ah, the old "follow the letter of your orders while letting his betrayed compatriots take care of him" routine. Well played, GI Joes, well played.
