Action Force #50
The battle for organized crime in Venice looks like it's about to end when COBRA launch an assault on the Mafia's headquarters. However Cobra themselves fall victim to an ACTION FORCE counter-attack that could very well put an end to the war between ACTION FORCE and COBRA! Reprints a portion of #47 and Annual #4(Marvel) This is the last issue in the series. Reprints will continue in Transformers #153. New stories in Action Force monthly (European Missions) After fifty issues the Action Force title came to a close. As was the standard practice in the British comics market at the time the title was nominally merged with Transformers, which now had the cover title Transformers and Action Force or GI Joe The Action Force from issue #153 onwards. In practice the effect was that the G.I. Joe reprints now took over the back-up strip slot in Transformers on a permanent basis, although the Action Force comedy strip Combat Colin replaced the existing Transformers comedy strip Robo-Capers. Action Force would take two brief breaks from Transformers, between issues #183 & #190 and again between #213 & #219, on each occasion being replaced by Visionaries. The G.I. Joe the Action Force name change took effect on the strip from issue #248, although the cover did not change until issue #249. At issue #306 G.I. Joe the Action Force was dropped from the title altogether. Separate Action Force annuals and specials were also released by Marvel UK from 1987 onwards, with the title changing in line with that of the toy line. In addition there was a weekly comic launched in autumn 1989 called The Incredible Hulk Presents which contained further amended reprints of the G.I. Joe strips. It lasted just twelve issues.

We have the European Issues up in the Marvel section so with that, here are the Action Force monthly covers. The European issue were direct reprints of these issues. Also unlike Action Force weekly, these stories were all new.
*Interior art pages will be added to the European section in the future, for now enjoy these covers and the specials as well. Art will be added to the special issues. |

Here we have mini posters, toy adds, contest pages, polls, quizzes and much more! If you thought you were a Joe fan (you were right) but these guys and gals loved G.I Joe as much as we did/ do! Long live Action Force!
