The daring James Bond is back in a definitive bumper edition collecting more of Jim Lawrence’s celebrated run in comic strip form! Includes nine of Bond’s most thrilling and dangerous missions:

Till Death Do Us Part
The Torch-Time Affair
Hot-Shot
Nightbird
Ape of Diamonds
When The Wizard Awakes
Sea Dragon
Death Wing
The Xanadu Connection

LOVE "Ape of Diamonds"!  And the sea serpent submarine is cool (er, myself and Gavin Ross did the same thing in the second Chung Ling Soo book!).  Horak is one of the most famous Bond newspaper strip artists and his work is is wonderful. I never got to see the Bond newspaper strip because it was in the Daily Express and my grandparents were socialist Daily Mirror readers!

The production is, again, top-notch and the art work crisp and clear.  If you are a comic strip fan, collector of Bond memorabilia this has to be on top of the list for Christmas!

Highly recommended.
