Action Force Monthly issue 10 was published by Marvel UK with a cover date of March 1989 at a cover price of 0.50 GBP.
Action Force are called in after a Crimson Guard robs a bank and holds the bank staff hostages. The Crimson Guard’s brother offers to talk him out, and succeeds in getting him to release the hostages and give himself up. After giving himself up, the Crimson Guard is shot dead by a sniper, supposedly by one of the Action Force team, but in reality by Cobra, and the Guard’s brother blames Action Force. Death’s Head and Spratt arrive on a planet to wipe out an army of invading munchkins. A group of Cobra B.A.T.s are wired to a bomb on Tower Bridge, so Action Force rush in Sci-Fi to disconnect the wires with his laser rifle before the bomb destroys the bridge. A journalist is tasked with getting photos of Snake-Eyes unmasked, which he succeeds in doing. When he checks his photos, he is shocked and decides to burn the negatives. Flint and Snake-Eyes track the escaped Eel back to a Cobra nest.
