Hi folks,

Many of you may already know of this project, some of you have been a part of it, so I thought it was time to post an update. I run the Action Force fansite BloodForTheBaron! (http://www.bloodforthebaron.com) and for those who don't know, Action Force was the European version of GI Joe in the 1980's and 1990's. There was a promotional comic strip that ran in the pages of Battle Picture Weekly (http://www.bestofbattle.sevenpennynightmare.co.uk/), which I have scanned and have hosted on my site.

Since february 2007 we have been colouring these classic strips and releasing them as weekly chapters. Every week I post the new release on sixteen GI Joe related forums along with contact details for the relevant colourists. I also update the site archives (http://www.bloodforthebaron.com/comics/colouring/index.html) at the same time.

I have put together printed editions (http://www.bloodforthebaron.com/store/001/index.html) of the work, available to buy through the website. Three are currently available and volume four is imminent - there are ten volumes planned in all. As this is a licensed property the project is done strictly as a non-profit venture, but Hasbro and the original creators of Battle are fully aware of our works and have raised no objections.

If you are a GI Joe fan, or would like to have your skills showcased and promoted for free, or just plain love colouring, we'd love to have you on board. I'm afraid I don't always get my forum notifications, so if you interested in joining the project please could you either register at the BFTB forum (http://www.bloodforthebaron.com/phpBB3/viewforum.php?f=61) or drop me an e-mail (bloodforthebaron@gmail.com).
