James Bond 007: The Spy Who Loved Me

    (Titan, 2005)
1962 Gildrose Productions, Ltd. and Daily Press 1968-9

The various film and literary adaptations of writer Ian Fleming’s The Spy Who Loved Me novel bear little resemblance to the source material, and it’s not surprising. Fleming himself didn’t care for probably the most unusual of his James Bond novels, not wanting it to even be released in paperback (although it ultimately was). Thus this comic strip adaptation, by Jim Lawrence and Yaroslav Horak, draws upon only minor elements of the book, telling a virtually new story of the British agent off saving the world in Canada.

This oversized collection features an introduction by movie “Bond girl” Caroline Munro, a bit of history on both Fleming’s novel and the movie version, and an original comic strip Bond adventure, “The Harpies,” run in the Daily Express newspaper.
