 | Live And Let Die / Shinu no wa Yatsura Da (1964 to 1965) Publication: – Originally serialized in Boys Life magazine December 1964 to August 1965 – Collected into a single album under the tile “Shinu no ha yasura da” (It is Them to Die) and published by Golden Comics (1966) Writer / Artist: Takao Saito Plot: This adaptation appears to be fairly faithful to the Fleming novel with the exception of replacing Quarrel with an annoying little white kid! Some additional action scenes has been added, such as a fight on top of the moving train as part of Bond and Solitaire’s railroad journey from New York to Miami, and an expanded Voodoo ceremony scene. |

 | On Her Majesty’s Secret Service / Joou keika no 007 (1966) Publication: – Originally serialized in Boys Life magazine April to December 1966 Writer / Artist: Takao Saito Plot: While sort of sticking to the plot of the Fleming novel this version adds an epic lion fight (with Bond dressed as a gladiator), includes a bald character called Mr. Big, and Bond and Tracy first meet during a hectic car chase. |
