By Alan M. Mandel

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

Well we started with Dick Tracy comic books in newspapers and finally Bond has arrived just in time as we celebrate 50 years of the release of the first James Bond movie Dr No in September 2012. The book is the third volume as the first two had comics of the orginal movies where this one in volume 3 are all new stories and is well written with suspense in each page. Please order it and then check out volume 1 and volume 2 as well. Bond! James Bond!

This collection of the classic Bond Comic strips gets into the original stories (non-Fleming) series, but they are still well written and drawn.

4.0 out of 5 stars Well Presented November 29, 2012

By A C N. MORRISON

Format:Paperback

The strip that was missing from the paperback,I think it was 970 only published in Scotland on Good Friday,1969 is now included,I found the copy at The British Library. The compilation of the entire series has been well completed, a pity the numbering had to start again on a number of occasions which can be confusing.

I found that the omnibus captured the spirit of Ian Fleming's masterpieces...It is the way he wanted to see plot play out; before the movie studios went nuts....It is true, gritty & most importantly an enjoyble read that will make you want to turn the pages over, without the regard for time...I was up till 4am absorbing ...Bond....James Bond....
