Ian Fleming’s first James Bond novel explodes into the graphic novel medium in this adaptation from writer Van Jensen and artist Dennis Calero.
Enter the soul eroding atmosphere of the casino at Royale-Les-Eaux, where the young but headstrong Agent 007 must do battle by baccarat with the villainous and predatory Le Chiffre. With Vesper Lynd and Felix Leiter by his side Bond is in good company, but no gamble is without risk. All of the players must stake their lives to play this deadly game, and lady luck is a cruel mistress…
The first full colour graphic novel of Fleming’s work, this is a true celebration of the author’s enthralling writing and the violence, tension and sensuality of his classic thriller.
Atmospherically coloured by Chris O’Halloran and lettered by Simon Bowland.
Codename: Stalvoda
Translation (from Russian): Steel Water
It kills without trace. Puts unspeakable power in the hands of a madman. Buried in its chemical formula is the means of ending the worldwide balance of power. MI6 thought they controlled it – but in fact, British Intelligence have now fallen victim to a decades-old conspiracy, reaching back into the mists of the Cold War.
James Bond is assigned to retrieve the lethal compound – and finds himself in a race against friend and foe alike, from the icy cold of Earth’s orbit to the endless wastes of the deserts below. The stakes could not be higher – and, as the opposition soon finds out, 007 will do whatever it takes to get the job done.

Colonel Sun was the first James Bond novel published after the death of Ian Fleming. Penned by one of Britain’s finest writers, Kingsley Amis, this edition celebrates the novel’s 55th anniversary and features a foreword by Anthony Horowitz.
Lunch at Scott’s, a quiet game of golf, a routine social call on his chief M – James Bond’s life has begun to fall into a pattern that threatens complacency, until the sunny afternoon when M is kidnapped and all of his house staff are savagely murdered. The action ricochets across the globe to a volcanic Greek island, where the malign Colonel Sun Liang-tan of the People’s Liberation Army of China is collaborating with the ex-Nazi commander, Von Richter, in planning a world-dominating conspiracy.
Bond’s allies – the beautiful, brown-haired Greek agent, Ariadne Alexandrou; along with a tough-as-nails former World War II resistance fighter – are quickly neutralized by the venomous Colonel Sun. Alone and unarmed, faces off against these two nefarious villains. Stripped of all professional aids, James Bond faces the deadly devices of Colonel Sun and his Nazi cohort in a test that brings him to the verge of his physical abilities.
Essential reading for any fan of 007, the official biography has been reissued to celebrate its 50th anniversary. The paperback edition has a new introduction from John Pearson’s son Mark.
‘It was a strong face, certainly – the eyes pale grey and very cold, the mouth was hard, the dark hair – grey-streaked now – still fell in the authentic comma over the forehead.’
This is how John Pearson reacted to his first encounter with the real James Bond, an encounter probably unique in the annals of thriller writing. He went on to write the bestselling authorised biography of Ian Fleming. At the time, like most of the world he assumed that James Bond was nothing more than a character in Fleming’s highly charged imagination. Then he began to have his doubts. Doubts which were reaching such a pitch that the British secret service were trying to warn him off the scent. Despite this, he finally became convinced that James Bond was not only real, but actually alive.
Thanks to a change in policy within the secret service he was invited to embark upon a companion volume to his life of Fleming. This resulting book must be one of the most extraordinary biographies of our times – the authorised life of a myth, the official biography of James Bond.
Bond is back and he’s better than ever. Moneypenny thinks so, and it’s only a matter of time before Lavender Peacock, a beautiful ward of the Laird of Murcaldy, will heartily agree.
Bond is drinking noticeably less these days; he’s perhaps more diligent about exercise and has a special low-tar tobacco blended for his cigarettes at Morlands of Grosvenor Street. But the 1980s have reached the department as well. Political restraints are squeezing in on the service. The elite Double O unit, with authority to kill, is being abolished.
But M takes little notice of these restrictions when it comes to Bond. He has been assigned to investigate one Dr. Anton Murik, a brilliant nuclear physicist who is thought to have been meeting with a terrorist known as Franco. Together they plan to hijack six nuclear power plants around the world and start a global meltdown, unless Bond can stop them…
Blofeld is dead. And SPECTRE, the world’s greatest criminal organisation, disbanded. But then a series of murders and hijackings reveal the unimaginable: Blofeld’s Special Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion is back in business, and more dangerous than ever.
Armed with a pair of Sykes-Fairbairn commando daggers, a new Heckler & Koch VP70 handgun and a new partner in CIA agent Cedar Leiter, the beautiful daughter of his old friend Felix, 007 must halt SPECTRE’s plans to take control of America’s defences. And come face to face with the heir to Blofeld’s evil empire…
