Séptima entrega de la serie mensual que Planeta DeAgostini dedica al superagente James Bond. La primera aparición del personaje tuvo lugar en la novela de Casino Royale, publicada por el escritor y tambien exagente secreto Ian Fleming en 1953.

La primera tira de James Bond, con guion adaptado de Anthony Hern y dibujo de McClusky, aparecio en 1958. Otros creadores que participaron adaptando los guiones de Ian Fleming a las tiras de James Bond fueron los escritores Henry Gammidge, Jim Lawrence y Kingsley Amis. Del dibujo se encargaron, por orden de participacion, John McClusky y Yaroslav Horak. El tercer volumen de la serie, Golfinger, empieza en el castillo de Miami donde su amigo Junius Du Pont le pide que observe el juego de canasta entre el y otro personaje, Goldfinger, sospechoso estafador y tramposo. James Bond le confirma sus sospechas y a su vuelta a Inglaterra descubre en sus investigaciones sobre el personaje que se trata del mayor contrabandista del mundo y un criminal comunista trabajando para la agencia sovietica SMERSH.
