James Bond 007 #[2]

In *James Bond 007* #2 (1988), Bond returns to Jamaica to investigate the mysterious death of a mountain guide who once mentored him as a boy, uncovering a web of gold smuggling tied to a reclusive ex-intelligence major, his enigmatic Chinese brothers, and a man whose fascination with marine life extends to a peculiar pet octopus. Written by Ian Fleming and Jim Lawrence, with art, inks, and lettering by Yaroslav Horak, this issue blends Cold War intrigue with the surreal, all rendered in striking detail. The cover, a moody, stylized portrait by Dave McKean, captures the story’s blend of danger and the uncanny.
