G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero #21 Newsstand VF

Step into comic book legend with G.I. Joe #21, the iconic “Silent Interlude” issue that changed the game forever. Released in 1984, this groundbreaking story is told entirely without dialogue — a bold move by writer/artist Larry Hama that became one of the most celebrated and studied issues in comic history. Featuring the first full appearance of Storm Shadow, the mysterious ninja rival to Snake Eyes, this issue delivers nonstop action, stealth, and storytelling brilliance — all without a single word of text.

This newsstand edition makes it even more desirable and scarce, printed for general retail rather than comic shops, making high-grade copies incredibly hard to find. Widely regarded as a major key issue and a cornerstone of any G.I. Joe or 1980s Marvel collection, it’s a must-have piece of pop-culture history. Don’t wait — this is one of those “blink and it’s gone” keys that serious collectors are hunting for right now.
