Hey gang. Here's a brief (and probably incomplete) history of 007 comics and graphic novels, chock full of cover pics, including the "banned" GoldenEye #2 cover. Enjoy.

They probably don't count but, there was also the 3 issue "Secret Agents" series put out by Personality Comics that were unauthorized biographies on Connery, Moore, and Dalton, written(except for the Connery issue) & illustrated by yours truly.

Yeah, I didn't include those because I didn't consider them "James Bond" comics...but very cool that you're the mastermind behind these. A must for any Bond comic collection to be sure.  I also didn't include the very long running Swedish (or is it Norwegian?) comic magazine "James Bond" because I don't really know much about these (the copies I have are tucked away in storage). Are the Bond stories in these just reprints of the Daily Express strips? This mag did have some very cool covers. |

Thanks, man.
I'm actually going to dig all these out of storage and re-read them. Get my (adult) Bond lit fix that way.  For those interested in the illustrated 007, I would recommend seeking out 'OO7' Magazine #34 (Connery from Goldfinger on cover) for a much more complete history of Bond comics with loads and load of pics. |

Very cool, Saint...I have the Dalton issue, I think.
Also, perhaps worth mentioning, since we're speaking of Moench/Gulacy, is their seminal run on Master of Kung Fu in the early 1970s, which featured a character named Clive Reston, son of you-know-who. How was James Bond Jr. 007's nephew, when Bond was an only child? And why call him...Jr.? --Eric This post has been edited by Number Six: 20 May 2005 - 06:57 |

Very cool article, zencat. Of the ones you mentioned, I only have the Octopussy comic. It's pretty cool.
 Thank you, the brief glimpse you've afforded me today will only encourage me to redouble my efforts. |

Great work, as usual, John.
Minor correction from my side: the AVTAK comic was not only published in Sweden. There is a version in German, looking similar to the Swedish one (exept for the words, of course): Not sure, but I think it exists in French as well. Has there really never been an English version? Funny... On the Personality Comics: there was an article in the latest German Fan Club mag (Dossier NullNullSieben) which I highly enjoyed. Don't be too shy, TheSaint, don't forget to mention that you also did the privately published Brosnan and Lazenby one (the second one written by CBn's own doublenoughtspy)
