James Bond #2/1996

"Död och diamanter" delivers a pulse-pounding twist on the Bond formula, as James Bond and Felix Leiter race to stop the elusive smuggler and spy Mr Big. With Leiter captured and left as bait for a hungry shark, the stakes rise fast—only for Mr Big to meet a brutal fate of his own when he accidentally ends up in the water. Written by Ian Fleming and Henry Gammidge, with art and inks by John McLusky, this 1996 Semic issue blends classic espionage tension with visceral action, all rendered in sharp, period-accurate style.
