Character(s): Bill Tanner; M; Miss Moneypenny; Kissy Suzuki; James Bond; Colonel Boris (KGB); Captain Walker (MI5 Liason officer); Major Townsend (MI5 "soft man"); Colonel Ross (MI5 Jamaica); Mary Goodnight; Philip Margesson (MI5, victim of Scaramanga); Chitra Mahal (nurse, KGB); Francisco "Pistols" "Paco" Scaramanga; Tiffy (hotel manager); Sam Binion (ex-Purple Gang); Leroy Gengerella (Miami show biz); Ruby Rotkopf (Vegas Casinos); Hal Garfinkel (Chicago union funds); Louie Paradise (Phoenix slot machines); Mr. Hendriks (Dutchman, European money); Felix Leiter (CIA); Nick (CIA); Ramon (thug)

A virtual "hoods convention" at a under-financed resort hotel leads to a deadly train ride through a crocodile-infested swamp.

Disclose Notes: Story #14. Faithful adaptation of Ian Fleming's 12th (and last) 007 novel (13th book) from 1965. In the tradition of THE SAINT tv series with Roger Moore, this adaptation adds substantial material to the original novel while remaining faithful to it, improving the story in the process. Apart from the characters of Scaramanga and Mary Goodnight, the subsequent 1974 film bears virtually no resemblance to the novel or comic. Strips 1-209 (series 3).

Disclose Notes: Story #15. Faithful adaptation of Ian Fleming's short story which originally appeared in THE SUNDAY TIMES, which inadvertently offended the publisher of THE DAILY EXPRESS, leading to the comic-strip's cancellation for a year. The 2004 edition noted the continuity of having this story appear at this point is somewhat "off", as Bond appears bored with his job (as he would have been following THUNDERBALL) rather than having a renewed desire for vengeance against the KGB (as he would be following THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN). Presumably it was the problems connected with the short story that caused the delay in its being adapted into the comic-strip. Jim Lawrence changed only the ending of his adaptation. The story later appeared, somewhat faithfully, as the opening sequence (and springboard) of the 1987 film. Strips 210-263 (series 3).
