This is something that I've always wondered since I was a kid when this came out when I was in junior high. Why didn't COBRA Commander get the cover of G.I. JOE: Order of Battle #3?
Not only didn't C.C. get the cover, he's waaaay in the back. Herb Trimpe, (along with Paul Becton,) were the cover artists so this wasn't a case of the artists not being familiar with the characters. So was this a major oversight that wasn't caught in time before the issue went to print?

CC is ahead of Serpentor, at least.

Didn't this come out right around when Cobra Commander got "killed" and replaced by Fred?
Also, everyone on that cover except for Zandar and Thrasher has a Classified figure already or is on the way! |

Comic Serpentor lead from the front. Putting him in the back makes no sense. Maybe Trimpe and Becton just didn't like him or CC?

Looks like a Cobra soldier(possibly Scarface) and Wild Weasel.
