☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis Titan collection adapts Ian Fleming's final James Bond novel into comics form, originally serialized in the UK's Daily Express newspaper. The story follows 007 as he tracks the notorious assassin Francisco Scaramanga, known as the 'Man with the Golden Gun,' through a deadly game of cat and mouse in the Caribbean.
In "Bond in Books," James Bond—thought dead after a mission in Japan—returns to England under a cloud, nearly killing M while under a brainwashing spell. After recovery, he’s dispatched to Jamaica on a high-stakes assignment to eliminate Francisco Scaramanga, a notorious hitman known for his brutal, precision-based attacks. A tense showdown unfolds at a rundown resort, where a gathering of criminals takes a deadly turn during a perilous train journey through a swamp teeming with crocodiles. Written by Ian Fleming and Jim Lawrence, with art by Yaroslav Horak, this 2004 Titan Comics issue delivers a pulse-pounding, atmospheric thriller grounded in classic Bond intrigue—complete with cover art by Horak.
In the 2004 James Bond 007 comic #5, a resurrected Bond—still reeling from a near-fatal brainwashing in Japan—returns to England only to nearly kill M before being sent on a dangerous mission to Jamaica. Tasked with eliminating the elusive Francisco Scaramanga, a hitman known for his precise, cruel "scientific maiming," Bond finds himself caught in a deadly game at a rundown resort where rival assassins gather, leading to a harrowing train journey through a swamp teeming with crocodiles.
In the shadow of the Berlin Wall, a double-agent’s life hangs in the balance as the KGB sends a killer to eliminate him—only for Bond to arrive with orders to stop the assassin first. As he waits in the cold, his focus shifts to a mysterious cello player whose music drifts through the night, weaving a quiet tension into the mission.
