Blood for the Baron!

BFTB is proud to present the opening chapter of the epic story Operation: Bloodhound. This was the first story to run in the pages of Battle Action Force, and remains a fan-favourite now, over twenty years later. This digitally remastered edition is brought to you for the first time in full colour.

Penned by the luminary Gerry Day, the strip boasted artwork from two of the industry's greats; Geoff Campion and Cam Kennedy, with lettering by the stalwart Peter Knight. Modesty presents me from hyping it too much, as this week's BFTB Colouring Project was done by yours truly, Jim Marshall.

Please let me know what you think, I am not a professional so any advice would be much appreciated. More next week!

OH YES! OH YES! OOOOOOOH YEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS!!!


I just had a Nerdgasm!

This is a great Easter present. One of my all time favourite AF strips. The colours are great. Love the look.

awesome work I love how it matches so well with the original colored double pages spread

great story made even better by your great colors

thanks for making this story come alive for us all

Awesome! Good work! Thanks for giving this to us to enjoy!

Can't believe I never knew these existed before coming here. We Americans have been missing out for years. This is top notch!

Chapter 2 is now online. I'll be doing the complete first run of Bloodhound, chapters 1 - 8.

Both fkn rock El Baroni, usw

Great work.

I feel a bit of Bach erupting forth, das wohltemperierte-AF-klavier usw.

Ya I love the Barons work on these comics, they always look so original, they flow so nicely with the original pages that at times its hard to realize they were colored over 20 years apart

Thank you very much! I do try to match the colours as best I can - my early adventures into light and shading were swiftly binned so I've just gone for solid colour. These coloured versions (not just mine) really do give these comics new life, I'm thoroughly enjoying doing them!

Chapter 3 is now up!

Next exciting Chapter is Up!!! colors done again by the BARON!
