About this Collection

This 1988 annual collects a year's worth of stories featuring the British Action Force team, Marvel UK's reimagined version of the G.I. Joe characters. It includes original comic strips, text features, and activity pages, showcasing the team's battles against Cobra and other threats in a mix of adventure and humor typical of the era's annuals.

In "Cobra Island Part One Hydrofoil," Action Force finds itself caught in a high-stakes geopolitical trap when Cobra engineers the sudden emergence of a new island in the ocean, manipulating the team into helping them secure its recognition as a sovereign nation. With the clock ticking and diplomatic channels closing, the team races to dismantle Cobra’s scheme—only to see their efforts fail as the island is officially sanctioned and declared off-limits. Written by Larry Hama and illustrated by Rod Whigham, with inks by Keith Williams, colors by George Roussos, and letters by Joe Rosen, this 1987 Annual features a cover by Kevin Hopgood that captures the island’s ominous rise.
