D.C. Jones and Adventure Command International by Jim Beard

D.C. Jones and Adventure Command International
by Jim Beard
2020

Basically a novelization of these ads for 70s GI Joe..


...or Action Man in the UK


The folks at Adventure Command find an Egyptian tomb in the New World, fight sharks, go scuba diving, and fly in helicopters. The team prefers non-violent solutions, but can mix it up when needed. Fun concept, taken better as a novella with a couple of bonus stories rather than a cohesive whole. We leave the leader Jones at the end of the novella, heavily implied that he would be turned into the Bionic Man, and he doesn't show up for the two shorts.
