    I wrote some issues of African secret agent..these books were packaged.by John albano of dc comics and the art was by various Philippine artists..the funny thing is in 1981 I met James bond director John glen..and he was stumped to write an opening for the James bond film octopussy..i basically rewrote one if my stories for African secret agent...he lived it and it became the opening for octopussy..and later they used the rest for tomorrow never dies..
