Action Force was it's own continuity. It used reprints of US material - sometimes edited - as well as UK originated material. The US never tried to integrate UK material since it would be meaningless to US kids who didn't have access to the British comics, just as we didn't have access to US ones for the most part. Action Force Monthly was sold in the US as "GI Joe European Missions" but it was also its own thing since it ran a mix of new and reprinted UK stories and from what it says on Yo Joe, they only changed the title on the covers. Everything else using the AF name remained. There was no attempt to integrate it into US material either.
Two (or more) writers on two different continents with no internet couldn't work that closely together. Even when Simon Furman was writing both the US and UK Transformers comics, he kept the US one separate, making one reference to a UK original story in a US storyline, because again, US kids were not going to be reading UK comics in the 1980s and 1990s with no internet and little access to comics stores selling UK comics - if the US stores even did sell them. |
