Many countries around the world released GI Joe comics. Several of these comics were under different names, in a variety of languages and generally for a limited amount of issues. These comics were usually reprints of the US Marvel GI Joe covers & their stories with direct translations into the individual languages.

In the United Kingdom, Action Force was a mix of original stories & US reprints.
Also, Battle Action Force was an all original series with a very unique starting history of Cobra and Action Force.
