Contents:
"Fra dødelig synsvinkel" (27 pages; newspaper strips reformatted to 17x26 cm magazine format)
James Bonds fjender: Von Hammerstein (1 page text) [James Bond's enemies]
Kerry King: "Gorillamysteriet ..." (14 page comic) [The gorilla mystery]

Note: The title of the main story is announced as "Fra dødelig synsvinkel" in issue no. 7 and on page 3, but the front page says "Fra en dræbende synsvinkel". Rather confusingly, both Danish titles translate as "From a view to a kill", even though this particular comic is adapted from another Ian Fleming short story, "For Your Eyes Only".
