I notice that everyone likes this issue for the fact that Joes weren't fighting Cobra-- Something that I, too, appreciate. However, just last year, Larry Hama himself gave Wingfield some sort of Cobra connection in G.I. Joe Declassified. He was seen sitting in a room with a bunch of Cobra's allies and financial backers.

...Of course, it's entirely possible (and even probable) that Hama didn't write Wingfield into the script, since he had no lines, and that Devil's Due editorial screwed around with the art to create a connection where one was never intended.
