Zartan

A shadowy presence in the world of G.I. Joe comics, this Zartan made his debut in the pages of Toyfare: The Toy Magazine in 2003, stepping into the Modern Age alongside some of the most iconic villains and operatives in the franchise — Cobra Commander, the Baroness, and Storm Shadow among them. Published across a surprisingly broad fifteen-year stretch through IDW, he turns up in eclectic company, from the wild crossover fun of Danger Girl / G.I. Joe to the gloriously offbeat G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero vs. The Six Million Dollar Man. With only eight catalog appearances, he's a rare find for the dedicated completist — the kind of elusive figure that makes digging through back issues genuinely rewarding.
