James Bond #26/[1974]

In "Åskbollen," Ernst Stavro Blofeld and his criminal organization SPEKTRUM steal two hydrogen bombs from the British Air Force and launch a high-stakes extortion campaign against both Britain and the United States. Written by Ian Fleming and Henry Gammidge, with art by John McLusky, this 1974 Semic issue delivers a tense Cold War thriller anchored in real-world dread, all rendered in sharp, dynamic style. The cover by Jordi Penalva captures the menace with a striking, shadowed image of Blofeld’s signature presence.
