Long before the movies, the TV series about a crack team of spies and their unlikely assignments inspired this comic. The IMF team is sent after a reconnaissance plane shot down by the Communists. But escape hinges on a dangerous maneuver: a plane picks up their inflatable raft with a skyhook, while enemy forces fire on them. In another tale, the team is sent to retrieve a Chinese defector. Target in the Sea; The Deadly Defector. 32 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.12.

Newsstand Version. ORIGINAL UNEDITED EDITION: Many copies were destroyed by the publisher. When Paramount and Marvel Comics teamed up for this one-shot Mission Impossible comic book based on the 1996 film (starring Tom Cruise as Ethan Hunt), Marvel did not have the rights to use Tom Cruise's likeness, so they depicted Ethan Hunt as an average brunette action hero. After the issue was finished and had gone to press, Tom Cruise read his advance copy and expressed concern that Ethan looked too feminine in a panel on page three. As a consequence, Marvel ordered the printing destroyed, but as is often the case, a few copies survived. Except for the two panels previously cited, "B" copies will be identical to the 2nd printing "A" copies (see A and B page 3 comparisons). Cover price $2.95.
