G.I. Joe Comics Magazine issue 13 was published by Marvel Comics with a cover date of December 1988 at a cover price of 1.50 USD; 2.00 CAD.
Three Joes are off to California on furlough to surf when they run across three of the Dreadnoks taking a joy ride on Zartan’s new holographic motorcycle, which is damaged in the scuffle. Zartan later picks up two of them in a transport chopper holographically disguised as a bus, with Buzzer captured by the Joes, after being told of their joyride by Bludd and the Baroness. The old lady Zartan picks up as a passenger mysteriously disappears after the chopper lands back in Springfield before she can be killed, but it was a disguise as the disguise was discarded. The Joes face two sea battles: one on land, the other in the air, as Cobra protects their secret plan on a small island atoll in the Gulf of Mexico. Meanwhile, Fred II and three Cobra agents attempt to capture Scarlett on a Staten Island ferry, not knowing Snake-Eyes is next to her in civilian disguise. The Joes lose their cargo ship, the Jane, to the air battle, as the WHALE wins its land battle, but severely damaged to carry anyone to land. Cutter, however, saved the day by contacting the Joes’ aircraft carrier, the Flagg, to pick them up afterwards during the air battle. Three Joes (Gung-Ho, Ripcord, Blowtorch) run into the Crimson Guard, and their leaders, Tomax and Xamot, while delivering balloons to the Arbco (Cobra anagram) Brothers Circus with Candy (Bongo), as new members Flint and Footloose are introduced to the Joes. The twins escape, and Candy breaks up with Ripcord.
