Synopsis:
Stalker, Snow Job, Outback, and Quick Kick are sent into Borovia to rescue a newsman accused of spying for the U.S., and the attempt is failed when they learn he was released in a spy exchange. As they attempt their own escape, Outback is told by Stalker to escape as the others are wounded and Spigou (their contact) is dead, so their story can be relayed back. The Commander has decided to quit Cobra so he can give himself and Billy a better life and is shot by Fred as vengeance for all that Fred sacrificed to be part of Cobra. Hawk has sent word there will be no rescue for the Joes in Borovia.

-Pose an homage to Todd McFarlane's cover to Spider-Man (Marvel, 1990 series) #1.
-The original pencil artwork for G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero (Marvel, 1982 series) #61 was created by McFarlane (inked and colored), but rejected for some unknown reason and replaced with Marshall Roger's artwork instead. This would have been McFarlane's second issue for the series.
-This story continues in G.I. Joe Special Missions (Marvel, 1986 series) #6 for Outback and next issue (#62) for the captured Joes.
-“Death” of Cobra Commander.
