In Other Media
- Zartan has been featured in episodes of Robot Chicken. His first appearance is in the episode "Joint Point" in the segment "Welcome to the Terror Dome" (a parody of The Office), Zartan is seen in a non-speaking role as a new Cobra recruit (along with several Cobra Troopers), being taught by Doctor Mindbender on Cobra tactics. Zartan appears again in a speaking role in the episode "More Blood, More Chocolate" voiced by Seth Green. In the "Inside the Battlefield: The Weather Dominator" segment, Zartan is interviewed about how the "Palace of Doom" (one of Cobra's bases in the "Weather Dominator" mini-series) was in truth his mother-in-law's home. After making the joke, Zartan's off-screen wife yells at Zartan that they have to leave for Seder causing Zartan to bemoan to the camera about marrying into a Jewish family. The segment ends with Duke referencing Zartan's true first appearance within the G.I. Joe cartoon (in the follow-up mini-series "Revenge of Cobra"), talking about how Zartan broke Cobra Commander out of jail, after G.I. Joe captured Cobra Commander at the end of the Weather Dominator mini-series. Zartan later made a non-speaking cameo in the episode "P.S. Yes, In That Way", where he was among the Cobra members seeing Calvin sniping the G.I. Joe members.
- Zartan is mentioned in the Jamie Madrox song "Hey Phatty".

Famous quotes containing the word media:
“Today the discredit of words is very great. Most of the time the media transmit lies. In the face of an intolerable world, words appear to change very little. State power has become congenitally deaf, which is why—but the editorialists forget it—terrorists are reduced to bombs and hijacking.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
