JOHNNY NERO ESPIONAGE TREASURY GIANT-SIZE EDITION collects six adventures of former MI5
agent Johnny Nero. In the midst of a successful career as a British super-spy, Nero inherited a
fortune and opted to quit the spy game. After years of danger and intrigue it did not take very long
for ennui to set in. To break up the monotony of beaches, ski chalets and yachts Nero began to do
freelance work for his former employer in the spy trade, Colonel Jason. His exploits would pit him
against assassins, thugs, mobsters, terrorists, megalomaniacs and would-be world conquerors.
Johnny Nero appeared in nine issues of the black & white adventure comic Fleetway Super Library's
Secret Agent Series. Each issue was a stand-alone graphic novel with painted covers by Paolo
Montecchi. Nero's escapades rival the exciting, harrowing and dangerous aspects of James Bond, John
Drake, Harry Palmer, Matt Helm and Napoleon Solo.
This collection is assembled from the best sources available. That stated, five pages of the second
story are in German. Since these pages are mostly an extended bare-knuckled car chase they do not
detract from the enjoyment of the story.
