Notes:
Story #21. Faithful adaptation of Kingsley Amis' only 007 novel (the 15th book in the series) from 1968. According to the book's editor, the behind-the-scenes villains were changed from Red China (in the novel) to the revived S.P.E.C.T.R.E. organization, but I can find no evidence of this in the comic. While this story has never been adapted as any of the films, elements from it have turned up in THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH (1999) and DIE ANOTHER DAY (2002); the sequence on The Acropolis, leading to Bond's teaming up with a female Russian agent, also mirrors that set near the Pyramids in THE SPY WHO LOVED ME (1977).
