As you can see the full team are there Mr T as B.A. Dwight Shultz as Murdock, George Peppard as Hannibal, Dirk Benedict as Face and Melinda Culea as Amy.
Inside are five text stories, two comic strip stories, a profile of the four male members of the A Team, a Murdock Themed Plane Quiz (five planes are shown one is the product of Murdock's imagination which one, a "humour" page with B.A. at the Day Care centre. Well I assume they were meant to be funny because they weren't.
So I read the first story Swamp Wreck, there's no Amy but there is a Sue who fills much the same role. Sue appears in the next story the comic "Buried Alive."
The third story "When the War came back" had Zoe in the role.
Amy finally appears in "Seizure at Sneekerville".
Sue reappears in the comic "....Bring him back Alive." and the text story "The Scuzzball Diamond Set-To" .
In the final story "Hard Times in Hawaii" Ann is with the Team.
Lastly there is a board game "Get..The A-Team" where you have to collect the five members of the A Team Face, B.A, Murdock, Hannibal and Sue. complete with pictures of the actors.
Except Sue wasn't in the TV series
The picture isn't Melinda Culea, perhaps it was a guest star in the first season. Looking through the cast lists for the season -Sue Beth appears in "The Rabbit who ate Los Vegas" played by Michelle Avonne, an actress who appeared in five things and has no photos on the internet except this one
I watch the episode and she looks nothing like Sue from the Annual, nor does Katherine Moffatt who played Sue Beth's friend Darlene. The episode isn't clear which character is which.
I show my wife and she points out that Sue looks a little like Patricia Richardson from Home Improvement. I find a 1983 ad Patricia had done
Maybe then I look at her filmography and in 1984 she did a show called Double Trouble
Where her hairdo looks a lot like that seen in the picture she appears at 0;32
I have no idea why they picked that photo of Patricia Richardson - she never appeared in the A-Team. There were no characters called Sue in her filmography.
I have even less of a clue who Zoe and Amy are - if I were to speculate there is a 10 year period while the A Team is on the run before they meet Amy Allen perhaps these women helped the team during that period.
