Hate to burst your bubble, Ian, but it’s not Bondvillain, it’s Tamra Bonvillain—no “d”. It’s an old French name which basically meant “good peasant” or “good servant”—the complete opposite of a Bond villain—but (being American) she uses the Americanized pronunciation BONN-vill-an. She was the colorist on Moon Girl & Devil Dinosaur among other things.

The Rise and Fall of the Trigan Empire is a British strip that originally ran in Ranger. Fun fact: It was one of Alan Davis’ favorites when he was a kid. It’s been collected several times over the years. Good stuff.
