In the [[Marvel Comics]] [[G.I. Joe]] series, Law & [[Order]] first appeared in [[G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero #60]] (June 1987). Law is teamed with [[Lt. Falcon]], [[Chuckles]] and [[Fast Draw]]. They are told they are official Joe members, but it is part of a conspiracy by rogue Pentagon officials to destroy [[Cobra Island]] with building sized missile. This includes kidnapped [[General Hawk]] and taking him to a decommissioned beach resort. The group fight a faction of [[Dreadnoks]] in all the confusion and the missile is destroyed by a [[Cobra]] transport helicopter. Hawk makes the group official Joe members on the spot. Law (with Order) works again with Chuckles. They escort Hawk as he tries to recruit [[Billy]], the son of [[Cobra Commander]]. Law and the others who fought the Dreadnoks travel to the official Joe headquarters and have to deal with paperwork problems.

Beach Head's enthusiasm for Law didn't last. His first exercise consisted of locating and disposing a bomb hidden somewhere in a mock-up village within 5 minutes. To assist him, Law whistled in his partner, Order. The German shepherd was pleased to meet Beach Head, who didn't return the feeling, demanding to know why he was brought along. Law explained they were a tag-team; Order found the bombs while Law disposed of them. With a wink, he added that they attempted reversing roles with little success.

As the timer reached 9 seconds, Order was not so willing to hand the bomb over to Beach-Head again.
