==Other works== Cobra Commander's figure is briefly featured in the fiction novel ''6 Sick Hipsters''. In the story, the character Paul Achting spent four years collecting G.I. Joe figures to set up a battle scene between the Joes and Cobra. As he imagined the characters in his head, he observed the "core of Cobra Command" atop an oak toy chest, high above the thick shag carpet, and "the hooded Cobra Commander, looking like a blue klansman, was loading his black laser pistol and making small talk with Destro".<ref>{{cite book|title= 6 Sick Hipsters|last= Casablanca|first= Rayo|year= 2008|publisher= Kensington Publishing Corp.|isbn= 978-0-7582-2283-1|page= [https://archive.org/details/6sickhipsters00casa/page/61 61]|url= https://archive.org/details/6sickhipsters00casa/page/61}}</ref> Cobra Commander is briefly featured in the [[webcomic]] ''[[Casey and Andy]]'' by [[Andy Weir]], in which his new mask is mistakenly delivered to Doctor X and vice versa.<ref>Galactanet β The Creative Writings of [[Andy Weir]], [http://www.galactanet.com/comic/view.php?strip=396 ''Casey and Andy'' Strip #396]</ref> The commander's business ventures and identity issues are discussed in the non-fiction book ''Powerplay''.<ref>{{cite book|title= Powerplay: toys as popular culture|last= Fleming|first= Dan|year= 1996|publisher= Manchester University Press ND|isbn= 0-7190-4717-X|page= [https://archive.org/details/powerplaytoysasp0000flem/page/108 108]|url= https://archive.org/details/powerplaytoysasp0000flem/page/108}}</ref> His works with secret bases is discussed in the paperback ''Saturday Morning Fever''.<ref>{{cite book|title= Saturday Morning Fever:Growing up with Cartoon Culture|last= Burke|first= Kevin|year= 1998|publisher= St. Martin's Griffin|isbn= 978-0-312-16996-1|page= [https://archive.org/details/saturdaymorningf00burk/page/172 172]|url= https://archive.org/details/saturdaymorningf00burk/page/172}}</ref> His general background is examined in the non-fiction ''The End of Victory Culture''.<ref>{{cite book |title= The End of Victory Culture: cold war America and the disillusioning of a generation |last= Englehardt|first= Tom|year= 2007|publisher= Univ of Massachusetts Press|isbn= 978-1-55849-586-9 |page=283}}</ref> The merits of Destro versus Cobra Commander is discussed by Iraqi soldiers in the autobiography by veteran [[Matt Gallagher (author)|Matt Gallagher]].<ref>{{cite book|title= Kaboom: Embracing the Suck in a Savage Little War|last= Gallagher|first= Matt|year= 2010|publisher= Da Capo Press|isbn= 978-0-306-81880-6|page= [https://archive.org/details/kaboomembracings00gall/page/207 207]|url= https://archive.org/details/kaboomembracings00gall/page/207}}</ref>
