Ian Kennedy - Battle Action Force

This is just to record for posterity the existence of this fabulous piece of art that was a commission from Ian Kennedy. What a piece of art!

The seller described it thus...

The piece features characters from Battle Action Force - the UK 80s iteration of GI JOE. 13.5 x 11.5 inches.

Thundercats comic by Steve Parkhouse

A recent ebay spot is this Thundercats comic by Steve Parkhouse. There are currently 2 copies up for sale...

One is here and is advertised as being free with new Eagle 18th October 1986

One is here and is advertised as being free with Battle Action Force 18th October 1986 (so the same date as the new Eagle supplement)

Here's a slightly larger image (can't remember where I got this image from) - but not the whole insert as I don't actually have a copy of it

Battle Action Force comic #1s

Just a short post today as I just wanted to capture this comics oddity - while this looks like 2 copies of the same comic the 2nd image is actually undated. It's the issue from 8th October 1983 and as it's labelled 'free issue' I'm guessing it would have been free with something like 2000AD (the relevant prog would be 337 which is also dated 8th October 1983). The previous week the comic had just been titled Battle - so this is a new title and a 'jumping on point' as people say these days.

So there you are Battle collectors a particular oddity to look out for...
