Dutch AF3 Advert

This is an advert from a Dutch comic . it is approximately 5¼ inches high by 7 inches wide (132 by 171 mm).

The translation (using Google translate) is as follows:

“ACTION FORCE TO PATROL
The Action Force men are equipped with their Special Vehicle Patrol AF3, to intervene quickly if necessary! And not only on land but also water, because the AF3 has a roof that direct use as patrol boat. But beware: there will be more special vehicle. As you read all about the next time.
Now go quickly to the store and look for the tough AF3 Action Force fighters!”

I don’t know when this was published but from what is on the reverse it seems to have come from some sort of Dutch horror comic.

The advert is the top half of a single page, the whole page would be approximately 10 ½ inches high by 7 inches wide (264 by 171 mm).

This has a Clipper logo in the bottom left corner & the line “Clipper Games & Toys B.V./Amsterdam” along the bottom.

I think Clipper were the Dutch distributors of Action Force in the Netherlands (Holland). They may have been owned by Parker Brothers who had a very similar logo. At the bottom of the Clipper logo it says “makers van monopoly” (“makers of monopoly”) & Parker Brothers were the owners of the Monopoly game.

I hope this is of interest

That's brilliant Rob! Thanks for posting that! Where did you come across that?
I certainly agree - looks like the Dutch name for Parker Bros.
