Notes:
Introduction by actress Maud Adams, who played Andrea in the film THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN (1974) and Octopussy in the film OCTOPUSSY (1983).
Notes:
Part 2 of 6. Covers CASINO ROYALE (1953), LIVE AND LET DIE (1954), MOONRAKER (1955), DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER (1956) and FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE (1957.) Includes covers of several book editions. Article continues from THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN (Titan, Feb 2004); because the first few Titan books in this series were published out of sequence, this article continues in ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE (Titan, Aug 2004).
Notes:
Describes the restrictions of adapting the novels to the 3-panels-a-day comic-strip format, as well as the "protracted" length of some stories (often 6 months long or more), which was highly unusual for newspaper strips!
Notes:
Includes covers of 2 early paperback editions.
Notes:
Story #16. Faithful adaptation of Ian Fleming's short story, which originally appeared in PLAYBOY. In the tradition of THE SAINT tv series with Roger Moore, this adaptation adds substantial material to the original novel while remaining faithful to it, drastically improving the story in the process, and bringing it more in line with the sort of "espionage" type of story 007 fans were used to by this time. The story was faithfully incorporated (in a convoluted way) into the 1983 film OCTOPUSSY, making the movie a sequel to the short story rather than an adaptation.
Notes:
Includes covers of hardbound edition of FOR YOUR EYES ONLY (Jonathan Cape, 1960) and paperback (Pan, date unknown).
Notes:
Story #17. Faithful adaptation of Ian Fleming's short story from the FOR YOUR EYES ONLY collection (1960), which started out as the 5 best plot outlines for a proposed 007 TV series that never materialized. Once again, this adaptation adds substantial material to the original short story while remaining faithful to it, drastically improving the story in the process, and bringing it more in line with the sort of "espionage" type of story 007 fans were used to by this time. Elements added here by Jim Lawrence later turned up in several of the 007 films, all uncredited! This includes Milton Crest's character in LICENSE TO KILL (1989) being closer to the version in the comic than the short story; the "salvage" operation plot that formed the basis of the film FOR YOUR EYES ONLY (1981); Bond being invited by the story's villain for a "cruise" in NEVER SAY NEVER AGAIN (1983); an industrialist being responsible for the theft of a vehicle his own companies built in the film MOONRAKER (1979); and a submarine launched from the front bowels of a tanker in THE SPY WHO LOVED ME (1977)!!!
