Editorial Reviews

Review

Essex Chronicle, September 2004, by Matt Adams: " Closer to the origina n ovels than the diluted movie version, this digitally remastered story is ably illustrated by Henry Gammidge and John McLusky..."; Crime Time 42: " Titan continues to put lovers of the intelligent, adult strip in it's debt with these reprints..."


Product Description

Bond is back! The world’s greatest secret agent returns, in a new library edition collection of the classic newspaper strip adventures!

After spending over a year fruitlessly searching for Ernst Stavro Blofeld and his sinister organisation, SPECTRE, Bond decides that he’s had enough and will hand in his resignation! But before he can deliver it, a series of fateful clues put him back on Blofeld’s trail AND leads to a ‘first’ — James Bond falls in love!

Also featuring You Only Live Twice, this new edition includes an exclusive introduction by the one and only George Lazenby, and fascinating background material on the Bond phenomenon!

5.0 out of 5 stars A fantastic volume - not one, but two Bond novels, November 13, 2004
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I was very excited to hear that Titan was set to deliver even more editions of the James Bond strips that appeared in the pages of The Daily Express in the 1960s and even more pleased to hear that two of my favorite Fleming books - 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service' and 'You Only Live Twice' were set to appear in the same edition.
Some years ago, back in the 1980s I had picked up a previous edition of 'Octopussy' that Titan had put together and promptly devoured the book and for years later had wished and wanted to see the rest of the series. Here at last some two decades later I am getting my chance - and am extremely happy about it.
Not only do we get the comic-strip adaptation of the above two books in this one edition, but we also get an introduction by Bond actor George Lazenby (who played the character in the 1969 movie) as well as a discussion of the Fleming books (from 'Doctor No' to 'For Your Eyes Only') and before the beginning of both novels a brief discussion on the background behind the comic-strips and even mention of where the strip deviates from the book which it is adapting.
A word of warning must go out to those who only know the secret agents exploits through the popular series of EON Productions movies. These strips are based on the Fleming novels which are very different from the 007 movies (at least since 1971 onwards). In fact one of the novels adapted here - 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service' may be the Fleming novel most faithfully adapted for the movie screens.
Titan Books deserve a great deal of credit for publishing these editions and this one will undoubtedly (and justifiably) become a proud addition to the bookshelves of every self respecting fan of the novels of Ian Fleming and in particular of his most famous creation - James Bond.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best novels- a GREAT Titan book!, February 23, 2005
By DARBY KERN (Green Bay, WI United States) - See all my reviews
Like the previous reviewer I had stumbled onto the other Titan releases in the late eighties- and loved them. Now Titan has resumed publishing these strips and I couldn't be happier. You can read my GOLDFINGER review on that page.

OHMSS has long been one of my favorite Bonds- novel and film! Now I can add comic strip to that category as well.

There are some "issues" because the comic strip version of THUNDERBALL had been cut short and the character of Bloefeld was never properly introduced. OHMSS hardly misses a beat without this information. This is a testimony to Henry Gammidge's adaptation skills.

John McLusky did a spectacular job with the art. I think he really hit his stride with GOLDFINGER, and only got better. The two adaptations in this volume are some of his best work ever! The material seems dated only in that it takes place in the late fifties. The artwork itself is modern and vital- or, if you prefer, it was advanced for it's time.

If you're wondering whether the strips are as good as the novels, I have to say they are- for what they are. Sure, they're comic strips but they're faithful adaptations of Flemings books with the language and sexuality toned down.

Titan is releasing CASINO ROYALE in June, and it appears to be 36 pages longer than the previous 1990 release. I suspect they will be including MOONRAKER in this volume. ***Note-According to the Titan website it will still include only CASINO ROYALE and LIVE AND LET DIE. I'm not sure what all the extra pages will be!***

I say we try to get Titan to release all 20+ years of the James Bond Comic Strip in published form.

4.0 out of 5 stars A faithful presentation of classic Ian Fleming storytelling, June 11, 2008
On Her Majesty's Secret Service is my personal favorite James Bond novel. The movie (On Her Majesty's Secret Service - 2-Disc Ultimate Edition) adhered closely to the novel and this collection of daily comic strips likewise stays faithful to the most humanizing James Bond story. (You Only Live Twice included in this volume follows the novel, not the movie version). The artwork by John McLusky starkly captures the time period of the 1960s. The story is presented very straight-forwardly in classic three and two panel segments. Though this book cannot be equated to modern 'graphic novels', James Bond fans will appreciate seeing a familiar story in a different medium.
