About the series
Between 1987 and 1988, Marvel UK launched Action Force, a 50-issue series that brought the global G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero conflict to British newsstands. Written primarily by Larry Hama and Simon Furman, with artwork from Rod Whigham, Frank Springer, and Hama himself, the title reworked classic American stories for a UK audience while also weaving in original material. It stands as a key piece of Marvel’s international publishing strategy, showcasing how a beloved franchise could be adapted for a different market without losing its core appeal.
