The Story
Starting in France, the story Bond in discussion with a

well have been a laser.

and learn of the next job using the laser.
Bond heads to the crash site on Tuesday where he faces
off commandos with the help of old friend Tatiana. Bond
makes plans to leave for Hong Kong after spending the evening

Artwork
Similar to issue one, the standout art in this issue is the introduction
of the nameless sniper. We get to see the Aston Martin DB5 briefly
as Bond moves to the French Alps.
An odd use of colours for the ski commando’s who are wear
black and yellow against the white slopes. Tatiana’s character
is flat and uninspiring during her involvement.
Dialogue
As with issue one, the dialogu is short and punchy. Despite the
very small about of space, Petrou has put managed to put together
dialogue which relays the essentials.
