Editorial Reviews

Review

"A cracking graphic novel." - SFX Magazine" Brentwood Gazette 14 Dec 2005: "These classic reads transcend the apparent limitations of a daily three-panel strip format, multi- layered, action-packed character pieces.."


Product Description

The legend continues! Stand by for more adventures with the world’s greatest secret agent, as his most thrilling missions are collected for the first time ever!

When a Canadian test pilot is blackmailed by S.P.E.C.T.R.E., Bond is called in to help — but a traitor is preparing to put him in the line of fire... and no sooner is 007 out of the frying pan than he’s into the fire, as Bond stumbles into a deadly insurance scam in a remote motel!

This collection also includes the very first post-Ian Fleming Bond strip, The Harpies! Plus a new introduction by Bond girl, Caroline Munro, a feature on the many versions of The Spy Who Loved Me, and a look at the later James Bond comics!

5.0 out of 5 stars FIRST TIME IN PRINT IN ALMOST 40 YEARS!, January 13, 2006
By Tim Janson (Michigan) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)      
The Spy Who Loved Me ran from late 1967 to 1968 in strip format and is re-printed here for the very first time. One of the most popular Bond Girls, Caroline Munro provides the introduction to this volume which also includes the first post-Ian Fleming Bond strip, "The Harpies".

In the "Spy Who Love Me", a Canadian Test Pilot is the target of a blackmail scheme. He's demanded to turn over secrets about a new experiment test plane called the GhostHawk. If he refuses to cooperate, his blackmailers will turn over evidence to French law authorities linking him to the death of a woman. Bond is called to investigate. The pilot, Mike Farrar, admits he was there when the girl died, but that her death was an accident and he fled when he got scared. Bond's investigations lead him to believe that the terrorist group S.P.E.C.T.R.E. is behind the blackmail plot.

This story is a bit slower paced than other Bond stories and not as action oriented as some might like but as always the art by Yaroslav Horak is op notch and has that great, 60's spy look to it. The better story to me was "The Harpies" that had a spectacular plot more in tune with the Bond films. A brilliant Dr. Phineus develops a death ray but says it should be destroyed. A wealthy aeronautics industrialist named Nero kidnaps Phineus to obtain the ray. Bond goes undercover as the new chief of security in Nero's plant to rescue the doctor. This story was much more briskly paced with a great, megalomaniacal villain in Nero, beautiful women, and lots of action.

The Harpies is seeing print for the first time in almost 40 years, having originally run in British newspapers from October 1968 to June 1969. Writer Jim Lawrence here shows he's capable of working within Flemings framework, but also crafting an intriguing storyline. Horak provides the beautiful art once again. For those who have never read the Bond strips, these collections from Titan Books are wonderful and preserve what otherwise may have been completely forgotten.

5.0 out of 5 stars More stellar quality gems from Jim Lawrence & Yaroslav Horak, June 24, 2006
By The One "Neo" (The Matrix) - See all my reviews
I have the original issue of this graphic novel that was published by Titan in the 80s. Comparing the print quality of that edition with this latest one, I see one major problem:

The print quality was excellent in the first edition, while this edition seems to have been printed using an ink-jet printer from computer scanned JPEG images. On close scrutiny, the lines of the drawings look clean and crisp in the older edition, while they look jagged (as if made up of computer graphic pixels) in the new edition. This is a problem that I see repeated in the entire series of re-issued Bond strips from Titan in the 2000's. One more problem I see in all the Titan Bond series is that the ink is alternately very dark and very light in alternate pages in Colonel Sun, TSWLM, OHMSS & Goldfinger. Very annoying.

That having been said, the paper quality, cover thickness and binding are excellent.

One piece of good news is that this edition of TSWLM now includes panel #721 which was omitted from the 1989 version, because Titan did not want to include an extra page for just one panel.

The stories themselves are excellent in every manner and drawn to realistic perfection by Larry Horak. Jim Lawrence's adaptation of the Fleming Material is superb as always.

The Titan Bond series is a must-have for Bond fans and comic book enthusiasts. Highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Graphic Novels I Love!, March 8, 2006
By Bruce Kanin (North Merrick, New York USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
THE SPY WHO LOVED ME is a wonderful graphic novel. If it was 100% full of Ian Fleming stories, it might warrant 5 stars. Still, it's a worthy purchase.

What's neat is, besides the original non-Fleming story, it does have one story based on the Bond author's original novel of the same name ("The Spy Who Loved Me"). Better yet, since the original was not really a Bondian adventure, the graphic novel brackets it with a very sensible new story that is very much about 007. Fleming's original remains in tact smack dab in the middle of the newer one. It's all done very well.

Too bad Ian Fleming didn't live to write many more Bond novels than he did. However, the ones he wrote were - smashing!
