The Tragic Man Behind Cobra Commander's Mask

Описание: Cobra Commander was never supposed to be a villain.

Before the mask, before Cobra, he was just a used car salesman — a nobody. But when a reckless accident took his brother Dan — a Vietnam veteran abandoned by his own country — something inside him broke forever. What followed was one of the most shocking origin stories Marvel Comics ever published — and Hasbro kept it hidden.

In G.I. Joe #55, legendary writer Larry Hama did the unthinkable: he unmasked Cobra Commander. Not to reveal a monster — but a father, broken and crying at his son's hospital bed. A man who built the world's most feared criminal empire... out of grief.

This is the real story of Cobra Commander. The one they never showed you in the cartoon.
