Canada's own: Back-Stop
« on: February 14, 2010, 04:51:21 PM »
i was just reading the article in the old newsletter aboot Back-stop and his poor treatment. Did you know he appeared in Action Force Monthly (aka GI Joe: European Missions) in the UK?

He's not the star, but he is integral to the team, driving Falcon around in the Persuader, and appears on the cover...

That was fun to learn. He basically played the same role as his major Marvel GI Joe appearance, but it was nice seeing Back-Stop get media exposure. Did he appear in many Action Force issues?

no, because he arrived at the wrong time in the comic. AFM was cancelled at #15 (he appeared in the last one) and the only UK originated material after AFM #15 was a couple of text stories and a couple of strips that appeared in the UK annuals
