About this Collection

This 1990 annual collects a series of standalone stories and features centered on the Action Force team, the British version of the G.I. Joe franchise published by Marvel UK. It includes comic strips, pin-ups, and text pieces tied to the ongoing adventures of the team against Cobra and other threats, typical of the annual format of the era.

In "Trade-Offs," Action Force faces a tense standoff on Cobra Island as Torpedo and Wet-Suit attempt a stealth infiltration, only to be outmaneuvered by the Oktober Guard. With Serpentor and Mindbender manipulating events from the shadows, a stolen helmet and a captured BAT set off a chain of deception that blurs the line between man and machine. Written by Larry Hama and illustrated by Herb Trimpe, with colors by Nel Yomtov and letters by Joe Rosen, the story unfolds with sharp pacing and a classic 1990s edge, while Robin Smith's cover captures the intrigue in bold, dynamic lines.
