"The Cobra Commander is...

...G.I. JOE!?!"

"And on that bombshell, I'm fortunate enough to have as a guest in the studio a concerned citizen who just happened to be walking past, Grand, er... Mr Toff Markin. So, Mr Markin, as an ordinary member of the public what do you think of this bombshell revelation?"

"Well Ms.Eowyn, as a ordinary upstanding member of the general public I'm truly shocked to think that G.I. Joe has lived a double-life as an evil villain - if it wasn't for those meddling kids and their dog he'd have got away with it too! He must of course be given a fair trial...

 

 ... but in recent days we've seen other heroes fall from grace. How far deep does this depravity sink in Toyville's authority figures? You of course know that there are several more Joes serving in the Toyville Police force and Army. How many more of those are scummy bad guys? Personally, speaking as a simple man on the street, I think we oughta round them all those so-called heroes up, lock 'em up and throw away the key before they do anymore harm!

We certainly need to get ourselves a new law enforcement agency damned quick - if only there was a charitable, public-minded fellow out there with a private militia of highly trained stormtroopers to spare..."

"Thank you Mr Toff Markin... harsh words indeed from an ordinary citizen, but ones this reporter finds herself in whole-hearted agreement with.

We'll be back with more on the G.I.Joe - Toyville Enemy #1 revelation right after these messages from our sponsors..."

Back in his appartment, Wyatt is watching...

"... what the f**k?

ID Tags? Snake Staffs? Bloody footprints? Dolls and action figures don't bleed (well, other than Stretch and then it was corn starch.)... and piles of our headless bodies certainly don't stink of decay! There's something fishy going on here...

... and that Mr Markin sure looked mighty familar!"

"Damn, I gotta get down there and do some real dectoring work before all hell breaks loose - last thing we want in Toyville are witchhunts, vendettas and lynchings!"

 

Is Wyatt right? Surely G.I. Joe can't be Evil? But when were Mystery Inc. ever wrong? And what of this mysterious Mr Markin?

... and whatever happened to all those doll heads? All this and more to probably get ingnored in the next chapter of

DARK DAYS in TOYVILLE
