Ian Fleming's literary debut of British Secret Service agent 007 is
stylishly adapted to the sequential art medium by Van Jensen and Denis Calero in
the official James Bond: Casino Royal graphic novel. Sent to a French casino in
Royale-les-Eaux, Bond aims to eliminate the threat of the deadly Le Chiffre by
bankrupting the ruthless SMERSH operative at the baccarat table. However, when
the luck of the draw favors his enemy, 007 becomes the target of assassins and
torturers in a high-stakes game of cat-and-mouse.
In the first of Ian Fleming's tales of 007, Bond finds himself on a mission to neutralize lethal, high-rolling Russian operative called "le Chiffre."
