Who is Zandar?

Zandar is the younger brother of Zartan and a member of the Dreadnoks, the anarchic biker gang allied with Cobra. A master of disguise like his sibling, he uses stealth and deception to serve Cobra's schemes against G.I. Joe.

Zandar burst onto the scene in 1986's G.I. Joe, a Real American Hero #51, brought to life by the legendary Larry Hama and Rod Whigham during comics' Copper Age β€” and nearly four decades later, he's still turning up in the pages of one of action comics' most beloved franchises. A fixture of the G.I. Joe universe, he keeps dangerous company indeed, sharing adventures with the likes of Zartan, Destro, and Cobra Commander, as well as the heroic Flint and Dashiell R. Faireborn. With a run stretching from 1986 all the way to 2025, Zandar is a testament to the enduring richness of the G.I. Joe mythology β€” a character who has quietly persisted through every era of the franchise while the biggest names in the conflict clash around him. For collectors and fans who love digging into the deeper roster of this world, Zandar is exactly the kind of figure who rewards a closer look.
