Ballantine – Young Adult / Fiction Books (1988)

Ballantine Books published six Young Adult / Fiction G.I. Joe books in 1988. These books featured beautiful covers, but the artist was not credited. Judging by this 2013 auction, it appears that Earl Norem was the illustrator for Invisibility Island, and likely for all six covers.
