Animated Appearances
To my knowledge, this Gen. Flagg was never animated, although an unrelated character by that name appeared in Sunbow's first animated miniseries.
Classic Marvel Comic Appearances
By my count, the General Flagg who was this one's father was discernible in 76 panels in 10 issues from Jun. 1982 to Feb. 1984: #1, 2, 3, 5, 11, 12, 14, 16, 19, and 20. He was killed in #19.

| He's the son of the original G.I. Joe commanding general (after whom the U.S.S. Flagg aircraft carrier was named). GENERAL FLAGG is a graduate of the Virginia Military Institute, as were five preceding generations of Flaggs. General Flagg shares DUKE's philosophy of personally leading his troops into a firefight, instead of sending out orders from behind the lines in some cozy commander's tent. When the call is given to charge, he's the one shouting it from the front. His strategies on the battlefield have twice earned him the Medal of Valor and countless decorations as he carries on his family's proud military tradition.
