(Dark Horse Comics 7/92 Story-Doug Moench) A 3 issue set from Dark Horse Comics, Serpent`s Tooth is a hybrid mixture of futuristic Bond with some traces of The Spy Who Loved Me thrown in. Bond has to go to South America and take on an unusual villian named Indigo, who has a blood/skin condition due to genetic expirementing that makes him look like a reptile. Lots of explosive action; the best illustrated of all the 007 Comic Books. Thrilling climax. If you only buy one series, buy this one.

Additional commentary by Jon Raker

Indigo`s main goal is to set off nuclear devices in the deep-sea crevices of the world`s oceans so as to create tidal waves large enough to wipe out the powerful coastal cities of the world – then move in and take over. The first agent to try and take him down – 009 – is captured and genetically engineered into a brutish servant named Goliath. Very interesting plot, and by far the best artwork of ANY James Bond comic series. However, some parts of the story are farfetched and totally unbelievable. Bond gets into a life-or-death, hand-to-hand scuffle with a genetically-engineered dinosaur, reminiscent of the raptors in Jurassic Park. Then Indigo`s base of operations suddenly sprouts a dome covering and motorized wheels and drives itself right out into the ocean. Aside from the few plot flaws, it was a very unique and enjoyable Bond story.
