G.I. Joe Comics Magazine issue 11 was published by Marvel Comics with a cover date of August 1988 at a cover price of 1.50 USD; 2.00 CAD.

The W.H.A.L.E. (Warrior: Hovering Assault Launching Envoy) hovercraft is in for repairs at a seaport when Destro and Firefly make off with it. The Joes give chase, but the two Cobra agents escape their grasp as Destro and Firefly head next towards Springfield on a stolen fishing boat. In Springfield, the Commander introduces his new supreme soldiers: the Crimson Guard, Cobra agents who can disguise themselves as normal persons, acting as sleeper agents for the Commander. Zartan believes McGuire Air Force base is the Joes’ headquarters and infiltrates to confirm, causing the Commander to recall the Guard agent surveilling Ft. Wadsworth (home of the Pit). Hawk is tipped off when the Joes at McGuire return and see the real deal there, causing an assault force to be sent to McGuire to repel any attack. The Joes defend the base when the Dreadnoks attack instead of just making an opening for the Cobra strike force, spoiling the element of surprise. Billy is caught looking into Cobra documents by the Baroness and Bludd and offer him a spot in the resistance. Snake-Eyes takes some down time at his cabin in the High Sierras, with Airborne and Spirit keeping watch on him from afar, but Destro, Firefly, and Fred(C.G.) One(I) have other plans under the Commander’s orders. Meanwhile, the Baroness and Bludd plot with Billy to assassinate the Commander.
