G.I. Joe #19
This issue contains multiple military stories. "The Old Army Game: Buck Passer" follows soldiers at a lookout post who discover goldfish in their food and suspect sabotage, leading to comic chaos when they attempt to catch the culprit responsible for the prank. "The Rusty Rifle: The Meek Soldier" tells of a young soldier named Ted who, after his father once taught him to play dead like a possum when in danger, uses this trick to survive an encounter with a bear during a camping trip, allowing the animal to lose interest and wander away. The issue also features action sequences involving American soldiers spotting enemy red tank patrols in the woods and engaging in combat in a swamp.
