James Bond Octopussy Marvel Super Special 26 Magazine Movie Adaptation Spy 007

Description: James Bond: Octopussy - Marvel Super Special #26 (Movie Adaptation) Magazine Cover by: Renato Casaro In 1977 Marvel began publishing a full-color magazine series devoted to concepts thought to be deserving of special treatment, such as Kiss' first comics appearance as headliners, new stories of Conan, Star-Lord and Weirdworld, and occasional movie adaptations. With issue #14 however, the magazine became an irregularly published vehicle for comics versions of new films. Marvel Super Special began as a large-format book featuring appearances of the rock group Kiss in a comic book. In a fantastic publicity stunt, the group even arranged to mix drops of their own blood into the ink used in the print run, thus playing up their “Satan-rock” image. Other special issues included a feature on the Beatles and a proof-quality limited run of the Weirdworld storyline, with each copy signed by the artists. Most issues, however, were rather straightforward movie adaptations. The features ranged from Battlestar Galactica to Annie, although science-fiction/fantasy films of one sort or another dominated the series. Octopussy is a 1983 British spy film and the thirteenth in the James Bond series produced by Eon Productions: the sixth to star Roger Moore as the fictional MI6 agent James Bond. It was directed by John Glen and the screenplay was written by George MacDonald Fraser, Richard Maibaum and Michael G. Wilson. The film's title is taken from a short story in Ian Fleming's 1966 short story collection Octopussy and The Living Daylights, although the film's plot is mostly original. It does, however, contain a scene adapted from the Fleming short story "The Property of a Lady" (included in 1967 and later editions of Octopussy and The Living Daylights). The events of the short story "Octopussy" form part of the title character's background and are recounted by her in the film. In "Octopussy", Bond is assigned the task of following a megalomaniacal Soviet general (Steven Berkoff) who is stealing jewelry and art objects from the Kremlin art repository. This leads Bond to a wealthy exiled Afghan prince, Kamal Khan (Louis Jourdan), and his associate, Octopussy (Maud Adams), and the discovery of a plot to force disarmament in Western Europe with the use of a nuclear weapon. James Bond: Octopussy - Marvel Super Special #26 contains: “James Bond: Octopussy" Credits Page 3 The cast, all “Octopussy Girls”, and stunt actors involved in the shooting of the film are credited here. Also included is another version of the front cover, this time with a white background. And finally, the writers, artists, and everybody involved with the creation of the movie adaptation comic featured next are listed. “Roger Moore” Page 4 A black & white photograph of Roger Moore. “James Bond: Octopussy" The Illustrated Story Page 5 Writer: Steve Moore Artist: Paul Neary Letterer: Annie Halfacree Editor: John Barraclough Story/Spoilers (featuring the full James Bond: Octopussy 1983 Movie Synopsis for nostalgic remembrance) After fleeing knife-throwing twin assassins Mischka and Grishka in East Berlin, mortally wounded British agent 009, dressed as a circus clown and carrying a counterfeit Fabergé egg, crashes into the British ambassador's residence and dies. MI6 immediately suspects Soviet involvement and, after the genuine Fabergé egg is to be auctioned in London, sends James Bond to identify the seller. At the auction, Bond swaps the fake egg for the real one and subsequently engages in a bidding war with an exiled Afghan prince named Kamal Khan, forcing Khan to pay £500,000 for the counterfeit. Bond follows Khan to his palace in India. Bond defeats Khan in a game of backgammon using Khan's loaded dice. Bond and his MI6 contact, Vijay, escape Khan's bodyguard Gobinda. Later, Khan's associate Magda seduces Bond. Bond permits Magda to steal the real Fabergé egg, which is fitted with Q's listening and tracking device. Gobinda knocks Bond unconscious and takes him to Khan's palace. After Bond escapes, he listens in on the bug and discovers that Khan works with Orlov, a Soviet general seeking to expand Soviet domination to Western Europe. Bond infiltrates a floating palace in Udaipur and meets its owner, Octopussy, a wealthy businesswoman, smuggler and Khan's associate. She also leads the Octopus cult, of which Magda is a member. Octopussy has a personal connection with Bond: her father is the late Major Dexter-Smythe, whom Bond arrested for treason. Octopussy thanks Bond for allowing the Major to commit suicide rather than face trial and invites Bond to be her guest. Earlier in Khan's palace and later in Octopussy's palace, Bond discovers that Orlov has been supplying Khan with priceless Soviet treasures, replacing them with replicas while Khan has been smuggling the genuine objects into the West via Octopussy's circus troupe. Orlov is planning to meet Khan at Karl-Marx-Stadt in East Germany, where the circus is scheduled to perform. Khan's mercenaries break into the palace to kill Bond, but Bond and Octopussy thwart them. Bond learns from Q that the thugs have killed Vijay. Travelling to East Germany, Bond infiltrates the circus and discovers that Orlov has replaced the Soviet treasures with a nuclear warhead, primed to explode during the circus performance at a US Air Force base in West Germany. The explosion would force Europe into seeking unilateral disarmament in the belief that the bomb belonged to the US and was detonated at the airbase accidentally, leaving the unprotected borders open to a Soviet invasion. Bond takes Orlov's car, drives it along the railroad tracks and boards the moving circus train. Orlov gives chase but is killed by border guards after he tries to rush a checkpoint. Bond kills Mischka and Grischka, and after falling from the train, commandeers a car to get to the airbase. Bond penetrates the base and disguises himself as a clown to evade the West German police. He convinces Octopussy that Khan has betrayed her, and realizing that she has been tricked, she assists Bond in deactivating the warhead. Sometime later, with the plan foiled, Khan returned to his palace and prepared to flee. Bond and Octopussy also return separately to India. Bond arrives at Khan's palace just as Octopussy and her troops launch an assault on the grounds. Octopussy attempts to kill Khan but is captured by Gobinda. While Octopussy's team, led by Magda, overpowered Khan's guards, Khan and Gobinda abandon the palace, taking Octopussy as a hostage. As they attempt to escape in their airplane, Bond clings to the fuselage and disables an engine and the elevator panel. Struggling with Bond, Gobinda plummets off the plane's roof to his death, and Bond and Octopussy jump off the plane onto a nearby cliff only seconds before Khan fatally crashes into a mountain. While the Minister of Defense and General Gogol discuss the transport of the jewelry, Bond recuperates with Octopussy aboard her private yacht in India. “James Bond: The Legend Lives On” Page 52 Writer: Richard Holis A well written article about Roger Moore, Octopussy, and continuing legacy of Ian Flemings master spy.
