Publisher Description. Skybound and Image Comics has revealed a first look at interior pages from G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero Sssilent Missions – Zartan #1, an all-new one-shot debuting for Skybound’s Silent Missions month as Cobra takes over! Made by the iconic Spider-Man 2099 duo of writer/creator Tom DeFalco and artist Pat Olliffe, this issue arrives in comic book shops on April 15.
The face of comic books changed forever when G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero #21 introduced fans to the “Silent Interlude,” an action-packed story with no dialogue. This April, Silent Missions month returns for a second year, but with a new twist: the focus turns to Cobra as its most lethal members take center stage in a new series of silent, high-stakes stories, featuring superstar creators.
In this issue, Tom DeFalco and Pat Ollife trap Zartan in his deadliest undercover mission yet. But for the master of disguise, outmaneuvering Cobra Commander, Major Bludd, and G.I. Joe’s not a bad day’s work…
In addition to the main cover by Pat Olliffe & John Kalisz, the lineup of variant covers includes an open to order cover by Jorge Fornés, a 1:10 incentive black and white version of Ollife’s cover, and the continuation of 1:25 incentive foil letter cover series by Fornés, ultimately spelling COBRA.
G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero Sssilent Missions – Zartan #1 is the third of five all-new Silent Missions one-shots, each releasing on a Wednesday this April, from an elite assembly of talent including Gabriel Hardman, Jöelle Jones & Declan Shalvey, Pat Olliffe & Tom DeFalco, Howard Porter, and Jorge Fornés.
