Synopsis

The Joes learn of Cobra's plan to uncover the Pit's hidden location, and construct a false headquarters over the real thing, while setting them up to believe that their base is under quarantine from Scar-Face's infected body, cured by Doc. Cobra then attacks, and the Joes defend. The battle is won by the Joes but at a cost: Gen. Flagg, Kwinn, Scar-Face, and Dr. Venom are casualties, and Bludd escapes with the Baroness.

Notes

Part of 'Assistant Editor's Month' at Marvel, where the assistants were allowed to print a single issue without editorial interference as the editors were away at an editor's conference (San Diego Comic Con) that month. On-sale date from Amazing Heroes #32.
