Synopsis

The Joes go back to the abandoned Russian hut where they first encountered Kwinn the Eskimo trying to steal plans for a low-frequency radio wave beamer aimed at the U.S. to entice violence, and encounter Cobra agents already there as part of the Commander's new plan, who capture them. Destro's been cut off by the Commander as his arms dealer and replaced by the surviving Darklon, previously thought dead. Blizzard goes off to rescue his captured buddies. Firefly hires Crystal Ball to help him infiltrate Joe's laser tower.

Indexer Notes

The story notes that Darklon survived his attack on him by Destro in #146 [Marvel, 1982 series] due to his castle having been fortified as a bunker to withstand such an assault, as explained by the Baroness to Destro.
