Cobra Commander
Few villains carry a name with as much instant menace as Cobra Commander, and this Modern Age incarnation — debuting in Toyfare: The Toy Magazine #61 in 2002, courtesy of creators Pat McCallum and Tom Root — brings that iconic presence into the pages of Wizard Entertainment's irreverent, collector-savvy universe. Over a roughly 16-year run, he turns up across a wonderfully eclectic mix of titles, from G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero vs. The Six Million Dollar Man to the stylish Danger Girl / G.I. Joe crossover, sharing the page with heavy hitters like Storm Shadow, Scarlett, and the Baroness. With 22 catalog appearances spanning some genuinely fun genre mashups, this is a version of the Commander worth tracking down for any fan who loves their comics with a side of toy-aisle nostalgia and a knowing wink.
