G.I. Joe #27 2004

G.I. Joe #27 (Marvel, 1984) continues "Snake-Eyes: The Origin Part II." Flashbacks reveal Hawk and Stalker recruiting a hermit Snake-Eyes and Scarlett's initial encounter with him, detailing his disfigurement and muteness. In the present, Snake-Eyes hunts Storm Shadow in New York, culminating in a subway train battle over their master's death. This issue is notable for its deep dive into Snake-Eyes' past and features the first appearance of Timber, his loyal wolf companion, making it a key issue for collectors.
