No words are necessary. This is it—the legendary "Silent Issue." G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero #21 is arguably the most famous issue in the entire 155-issue Marvel run. This CGC 9.0 copy captures the pivotal moment that transformed Snake Eyes from a cool commando into the undisputed icon of the franchise.

About the Source Material: In March 1984, writer/artist Larry Hama did something unheard of in children's comics: he wrote a story with absolutely no dialogue. Titled "Silent Interlude," the story relied entirely on visual pacing and sequential art to convey the narrative. It was a bold experiment that paid off, proving that comics were a serious medium. This issue defined the "Ninja" element of G.I. Joe lore, introducing the Arashikage clan backstory that would drive the mythos for decades to come.

Issue Summary (Key Key Key!): Snake Eyes infiltrates the Cobra Silent Castle to rescue Scarlett. Moving like a ghost, he dispatches Cobra Troopers with lethal efficiency until he meets his match: a mysterious ninja in white.

First Appearance of Storm Shadow: This issue marks the debut of Storm Shadow.
The Rivalry Begins: During their rooftop duel, it is revealed that both Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow bear the same Arashikage Clan tattoo, hinting at a shared brotherhood and a tragic past.
The "Silent" Format: As noted on the cover ("The Most Unusual G.I. Joe Story Ever!!") and the CGC label ("Silent issue"), the entire story is told without word balloons.

Grading & Condition Details:

Grade: This copy has been professionally graded by CGC as a 9.0 (Very Fine/Near Mint).
Page Quality: White Pages.
Label Notes: The label explicitly confirms the "1st appearance of Storm Shadow" and that it is a "Silent issue".
Back Cover: Features a classic Parker Brothers Frogger advertisement ("Different croaks for different folks"), a nostalgic bonus for retro gamers.
