If you are of a certain age you may remember the above two comics. Action force was a UK comic strip featuring the Red Shadows and Baron Ironblood (who then transitioned into Cobra Commander). It ran for a good few years around ‘83-86. These have never been printed after the initial run* but after 40 years they are rereleasing them in a remastered format. The first set of 3 books contains just the Red Shadow stories but includes the mini comics as well as the main one that appeared in battle action force magazine. If it does well, they’ll then look to release the excellent strips where he becomes Cobra Commander. * Although it was never reprinted there is an excellent fan site: BloodfortheBaron, that has them all archived on it, though you can no longer download them - likely due to this release. It’s not the cheapest but there is an early bird discount: www.totaltoybooks.com/One of the guys at Total toy talks about it more in this interview: www.youtube.com/live/vJLesT0pwiY?si=D0DFKEsp6HwNXTXZIf GI Joe is more your thing then there is currently a Kickstart from Skybound offering the original comic run over 3 hardback books + some of the extras. This is also quite pricey but I noticed that they are also releasing softcover versions of the compendiums and the first is already up for preorder on Amazon.
