G.I. Joe, a Real American Hero issue 86 was published by Marvel Comics with a cover date of May 1989 at a cover price of 1.00 USD; 1.25 CAD; 0.50 GBP.
The Joe team hooks up with the original G.I. Joe to keep Cobra (disguised as Iron Grenadiers) from taking over a laser defense system that he developed for the government. Cobra steals the disks containing the needed information to control the defense system, but Joe saves the day when he targets the drone carrying the disks, and fires a laser to disintegrate it. He then tells the Joe team he was the original G.I. Joe, and Jane was his nurse when Hawk wants to make him an honorary member, to which Muskrat responds he always thought the original team was bigger than just the two of them.
Main story credits: written by Larry Hama; pencils by Marshall Rogers; inks by Randy Emberlin.
