February 1987 witnessed the birth of the British equivalent to Americas G.I Joe (Comic book form). Action force was published by Marvel U.K and was a weekly 24 page comic. These books combined reprints of the US Joe books with original strips, fact files and humor strips. Action Force also had assorted toy adds which the US books shied away from. The art was sharp and these books had some extremely popular covers. Some issues used the US covers but for the most part, they were original. The series ran for 50 issues before being merged into the Transformers comic (the Joes were back up strips in these books).
What you will see is a cover for each issue, 3-4 interior pages and a short summary. What will set this portion apart from others is the interior art pages. As time goes by, more issues will be added from he Transformer line(s) as Joe or Action Force was in those books as well. Credit goes to www.bloodforthebaron.com for providing the missing pieces in this collection. Action Force Issues 1-50 Quick-access index: 1-10, 11-20, 21-30, 31-40, 41-50 European Issues of Marvel Series Annuals and Special Issues Special Inserts Mini Posters Last edited by vadersquest; 01-10-2011 at 02:56 AM.. |
