James Bond 007 #[1]
In *James Bond 007* #1 (1987), a resurrected Bond—still reeling from a near-fatal brainwashing in Japan—returns to England only to nearly kill M before being deployed on a high-stakes mission to Jamaica. Sent to eliminate the elusive Francisco Scaramanga, a hitman known for his precision in "scientific maiming," Bond finds himself in a tense showdown at a rundown resort where a gathering of criminals turns deadly. Written by Ian Fleming and Jim Lawrence, with art by Yaroslav Horak and a striking cover by Dave McKean, this issue blends Cold War intrigue with a pulse-pounding train journey through a crocodile-infested swamp.
