Action Force Annual

Over three annuals from 1987 to 1990, Marvel UK expanded the G.I. Joe universe with Action Force Annual, a British-flavored showcase of the team's international adventures. Scripted primarily by Larry Hama, with artwork from Herb Trimpe and Rod Whigham, these oversized issues delivered self-contained stories that complemented the monthly series. A compact but essential piece of the franchise's transatlantic legacy, the annuals offered fans a distinct, all-ages entry point into the ongoing battle between the heroic Action Force and the forces of Cobra.
