James Bond #44/[1977]

"Intrig på Balkan" delivers a sharp, pulse-pounding installment in the James Bond series, with Bond racing against time to prevent a high-stakes wedding from becoming a dangerous espionage trap. Written by James D. Lawrence and brought to life by Yaroslav Horak’s dynamic art, the story sees Bond intercepting Arda Petrich just as he’s about to marry a seemingly innocent bride with ties to a Bulgarian spy, Stefan Radomir—whose loyalty quickly proves to be a deadly gamble. Jordi Penalva’s striking cover captures the tension perfectly, setting the stage for a cold war thriller rooted in deception and shifting allegiances.
