Gigant #46: Džems Bond - Casino Royale / Nebeski Soko: Afera Kecval / Christopher Chance: Živa meta / Max: Porše Karera / Ferd’nand
James Bond must bankrupt Le Chiffre, a man linked to Soviet intelligence, at the gaming table. Threats, deception and his growing attraction to Vesper Lynd turn the assignment into a dangerous personal test.
In Casino Royale, James Bond is ordered to defeat an opponent through gambling. Le Chiffre, a man connected to the Soviet organisation SMERSH, has lost money entrusted to him and hopes to recover it at the casino. British intelligence sends agent 007 to the fashionable French resort of Royale-les-Eaux to prevent that recovery and leave Le Chiffre facing the consequences.
Supported by Vesper Lynd, French intelligence officer René Mathis and American agent Felix Leiter, Bond enters a tense contest of baccarat. Beneath the polished manners and outward courtesy lie threats and a willingness to use violence. The stakes soon extend beyond money, while Bond’s attachment to Vesper raises questions about trust and personal feeling in a profession built on deception.
Anthony Hern and John McLusky translate Fleming’s story into newspaper-strip form, creating suspense through expressions, dialogue and compact action sequences. The issue also includes Nebeski Soko: Afera Kecval, Christopher Chance: Živa meta, Max: Porše Karera and a humorous Ferd’nand feature.
