Notes:
Introduction by "Sir Roger Moore KBE", actor who starred in 7 007 films from LIVE AND LET DIE (1973) to A VIEW TO A KILL (1985).
Notes:
Part 5 of 6. Article covers "Colonel Sun", "The Book of Bond", "The James Bond Dossier", "The Authorized Biography of 007" and John Gardner's "The Liquidator". Because the first few Titan books in this series were published out of sequence, this article continues from Goldfinger (Titan, November 2004). Continues in Dr. No (Titan, May 2005).
Notes:
Includes covers of Jonathan Cape's 1953 UK hardback edition, and Pan's 20th paperback edition, 1964.
Notes:
Previously reprinted in Casino Royale (Titan, July 1990).
Notes:
Includes covers of Pan's 1962 8th printing UK paperback, and Coronet's 6th UK paperback edition.
Notes:
Story #2. Faithful (if severely "toned-down") adaptation of Ian Fleming's 2nd 007 novel from 1954. The 1973 film used so little of the novel, much of it turned up in later films, including: the keel-hauling scene in FOR YOUR EYES ONLY (1981); the kidnap and mauling of Felix, and the fight at the fish warehouse in LICENCE TO KILL (1989). LIVE AND LET DIE was, oddly, the shortest strip adaptation of any of Fleming's novels.
Notes:
Editor notes how gimmick of starting this story with Bond talking to the audience was later used in the first 2 seasons of THE SAINT tv series with Roger Moore! Includes covers of Jonathan Cape's 1955 1st printing UK hardback (with jacket devised by Ian Fleming), and 1998 Czech paperback edition from Delfin.
Notes:
Story #3. Faithful adaptation of Ian Fleming's 3rd 007 novel from 1955. Apart from the character of Drax and a sequence in which Bond and his fellow spy are left to die in a rocket exhaust pit, virtually nothing from the book turned up in the 1979 film. However, the climax-- a nuclear missile being redirected to destroy a submarine, was used 2 years earlier in THE SPY WHO LOVED ME (1977); the scene where Bond out-cheats the villain at a game of chance, which inspired a similar scene in GOLDFINGER, also turned up in the film OCTOPUSSY (1983), complete with the line, "Spend the money quickly!"; and the idea of a rich and popular industrialist who was really a foreign agent in disguise was used in DIE ANOTHER DAY (2002). Based on John McLusky's art, Hugo Drax and Gala Brand somewhat resemble actors Howard Marion Crawford and Honor Blackman.
