Written by Kingsley Amis under the pen name of Robert Markham four years after the death of Ian Fleming, "Colonel Sun" was the first official James Bond continuation novel. Adapted by artist Yaroslav Horak and writer Jim Lawrence in December 1969, the faithfully translated adventure sees M being kidnapped and James Bond sent on the trail to Greece where Colonel Sun Liang-Tan is holding him.

This new edition also collects the second comic strip not based on any Bond novel, River of Death, written by Jim Lawrence and drawn by Yaroslav Horak. First published in June 1969 (prior to Colonel Sun), 007 enlists help from Native American CIA agent Kitty Redwing as he investigates several mysterious deaths and comes face to face with the deadly Dr. Cat.
