Written by acclaimed Bond novelist Raymond Benson and illustrated by John Watkiss, the tale follows 007 as he investigates a mysterious new threat involving a resurrected Cold War-era plot. The collection presents a modern take on the classic spy thriller, blending espionage action with Benson's signature narrative style.
In "THE PHOENIX PROJECT," a secretary’s unsettling visions lead Bond to Istanbul, where he uncovers a conspiracy orchestrated by the corrupt arms broker Kazim. As Bond closes in, he finds himself racing against the mysterious Jack Donner and Jenny Starbuck, who are determined to clear her father’s name after Kazim framed him for a crime he didn’t commit. Written by Jim Lawrence and illustrated by Yaroslav Horak—whose dynamic art and inks bring the high-stakes chase to life—this 2007 Titan Comics entry delivers a tense, globe-trotting thriller with a sharp edge. The cover by Yaroslav Horak captures the intrigue with a sleek, atmospheric design.
In "The Phoenix Project," Jo, a secretary with uncanny premonitions, finds her visions tied to a secret operation when Bond arrives in Istanbul to stop Kazim, a rogue arms broker orchestrating a high-stakes theft of a top-secret armored suit. As Bond closes in, he's not the only one hunting Kazim—Texans Jack Donner and Jenny Starbuck are also on the trail, seeking justice for a crime their father was wrongfully accused of.
In "The Black Ruby Caper," James Bond goes off-script, using deception and high-stakes maneuvering to corner Ilse Kreuzner, whose lover, the elusive "Mister Ruby," holds the key to a dangerous conspiracy. Teaming up with the sharp and enigmatic Damara Carver, Bond must unravel a web tied to her father’s forgotten sculptures—artifacts that unknowingly fuel a deadly plot by the secret spy network known as The Rubaiyat.
In "Till Death Do Us Part," James Bond once again finds himself in a high-stakes moral gray zone, abducting Arda Petrich from her lover Stephan Radomir’s home—this time with a personal connection to the mission. As Arda’s late father was a defector who worked for MI-6, her knowledge makes her a target, and the man she trusts may be the one selling her to the KGB.
In "The Torch-Time Affair," James Bond is drawn to a remote beach under cover of night by a cryptic message—and finds a woman buried up to her neck in the sand, her fate tied to a dangerous secret. Now caught between the ruthless SMERSH and the elusive ESPADA, Bond must navigate a web of deception where every ally could be an enemy, and the truth behind the code-named "Torch-Time" could reshape Latin America.
