G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero #67, published in January 1988, is titled "Cold Snap" and features the return of the Joes from Borovia, the debut of a new Cobra weapon, and key character moments. The issue was written by Larry Hama, with art by Ron Wagner.
Key plot points
Cobra's new weapon: In Frusenland, the Baroness, Dr. Mindbender, and the Fred VII version of Cobra Commander test a new high-tech weapon. The Cobra agents activate Terror-Dromes to project "paranoia rays"—a technology provided by the late Kwinn—causing local citizens to riot. The resulting civil unrest creates a market for new weapons and justifies Cobra's presence in the country.
Joes return from captivity: The Joes who were captured and sent to a Borovian gulag in a previous issue finally return home. Outback is guilt-ridden for having been ordered to leave Stalker and the others behind but is reassured by Stalker that he made the right choice.
The ninjas' perspective: In San Francisco, Storm Shadow, Jinx, and the Blind Master witness the riots on a television. When a boy snatches Jinx's purse, the Blind Master foils the theft and then offers the boy a job as his guide. The act teaches Storm Shadow's apprentice, Billy, about wisdom and breaking cycles of violence, contrasting with Cobra's philosophy.
Flint and Lady Jaye's relationship: Snake-Eyes and Scarlett also return from their mission but have to contend with a furious Flint, who is angry about being deceived. Lady Jaye punches Flint to get him to see reason and then professes her love for him, leading to the two officially becoming a couple.
