Had to put volumes 1 and 2 side by side for comparison.

They look SO good. Great covers Baron!

that is COOL to see side by side!!! I was just telling the Baron yesterday that I couldnt wait to see those side by side, really really cool

thanks for doing that!

as for when its done, really depends on the colorist, sometimes they do 5 pages in a week and then sometimes they do like 5 pages a year

so hopefully sooner rather than later

...and all of the Q Force and Space Force Datafiles.

THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU!!!

Will that include any of the Combat Files, please? http://www.bloodforthebaron.com/Blood/Combat%2019.html Or will we see those appear later? I know there won't be a lot of Space Force stuff to come... but I'd be happy with just a little if printed in a Hardback!

Darn it all..., I can only get online occasionally..., see what I've missed!

By the way, I've found a story called "Death Beam" in the 1986 Battle Action Force Annual (published very late in 1985). It features a lot of the post-Palitoy GI Joe characters, (including Duke, Tripwire, Ton-Up, and a brief cameo by Scrap Iron)... but also includes the Palitoy G1-era Moondancer in his Space Force uniform! He has the

logo on his chest and the visor over his face

. Awesome!

As this story would cater to GI Joe fans and not just me(!), is there any chance that it too, like "Sky Raider Strikes Back" might be included in a future volume please? Its Black & White, so would need to be coloured... unless you're still thinking about doing a BAF B&W Edition? http://www.bloodforthebaron.com/phpBB2/ ... =29&t=1895

Food for thought! And thanks again.

"Blast Off!"

Hey , ya you got to come around more often so many things going on right now, Red Laser in the custom contest top 3, hasbro Q and A , and this!! Okay so as for space stories, we WANT every story coloured !!! but it just comes down to colourist! I can promise you that if you did every story involving Space Force, every data file and every battle report/combat file we would do one big space volume !

just got to get more colourist!

I'd LOVE to, but I'm having zero luck in the colouring & technical departments!

I know Space Force isn't everyone's cup of tea, but the way I see it, there were only a few Space Force stories written; surely we can make use of one or two of them.

As you say, its just a matter of finding colourists. Anybody got any? Ha ha!

My current thinking is to run book II as follows:

Attack! #1 - 4

is training an army in South America,

spies appear in the final chapter but are all killed - they reference

as if he is unknown to

Bloodhound I

are mobilised after

's South American base is located (by the spies), on the dossier it states that

is wanted for the death of

personnel
Attack! #5 - 7 The opening dialogue follows on directly from the end of Bloodhound I
Bloodhound II Continues on directly from Attack! #7.

are referenced as being busy on page 052 so it never did make sense.

defeats the

and is free to pillage the high seas with his fleet.
Bloodhound III

regroup and defeat

and destroy his fleet.
Sea Fury

rebuilds his fleet, which is backed up by the quotes "He must be planning some new campaign of terror on the high seas" and "I hope you like my new flagship"

Followed by:

Ambush!
Death Castle
Menace of the Baron
Death in South America
Revenge of the Red Shadows
Datafiles - We've now decided to run the remaining

and

Datafiles along with 4 customs. Sorry, Space Commander!

I've also doctored up some new "Bloodhound" logos for the Attack! #5-7 centre-spreads, I've long suspected that someone ballsed up and used the wrong logo by accident.

Blood for the Baron!
