	Sorry, but I think Evans portrait picture of Young Bond is far superior. James Bond and Beyond is back under the new name 'Grow-Up OO7' Please pop in and say hello.

	I do too actually. I wish Walker would have given him some sort of interesting background -- like standing in front of his first "Aston Martin" or the Bentley the way he did with his images of Uncle Max and Aunt Chairman. Even his pic of Wilder had her horse. Do people think it was a good idea to EVER show the image of Young Bond, or should IFP leave it to the imagination? I know one of the stipulations from IFP on the cover art for the new Flemings was to never show Bond. He is always "the man in silhouette." Should Young Bond have remained "the boy in silhouette"? Of course, they'll have to show him once these new graphic novels hit...but maybe tease him until then? Visit The Young Bond Dossier, now the OFFICIAL site for Young Bond news

	Very nice to hear about graphic novels. They're really going all out for this Young Bond series so far. ~ Nobody Knows Me Like You Know Me ~ 'People Look Up. Things Fall Down.

	Doesn't he look like a combination of Sean Connery and Pierce Brosnan?? Cheers! ---------------------------------------------------------- From Mexico With Love. Alex

	I think he would ride a nice, classic cherry red Schwinn bicycle myself...if they even existed in the UK in the 30's when the GN takes place. He does look good and I'm surprised that GN haven't been used to a greater extent in telling Bond tales... I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time.

	This guy looks just like Pierce Brosnan. I really enjoy the "raggity" look. It adds a sense of maturity to the 13 year old.

Haha my imagination is pretty bad then. Everytime I read a Bond book I picture either Dalton, Connery, or Lazenby. Never Brosnan or Moore for some reason. ..yet to read SilverFin, mind you.

	How is that meant to be from the 1930s? Even granted that he's out of his school uniform, he'd never have that long hair, and he'd have been wearing a tie. Doesn't look at all like it's from the right period to me. Maybe late 40s at a pinch. Did military chic really exist before the 1960s?

	This is fantastic news. I look forward to checking out the graphic novels when they hit. I'm glad that IFP are expanding the Bond horizons. By the way spynovelfan...very little of the book SILVERFIN takes place in Eton (less than 1/3 of it). I can easily imagine this is how Young Bond looks when he is hiking up the mountain to get to Hellebore's castle.
