Fans of the James Bond movies might be surprised to discover the true nature of James Bond should they choose to read one of the original James Bond novels by his creator Ian Fleming.
In the books Bond is little more than a paid assassin. He’s tough, rough, not above playing dirty, a womanizer, a bit of a fascist and not particularly handsome of sophisticated.
Titan Books reprinted a collection of James Bond novels translated into daily comic strips around the time the James Bond movie craze hit the world in the 1960s.
In The James Bond Omnibus Volume 001 comic strips reprinted include Casino Royale, Goldfinger, Dr. No, Moonraker, Diamonds Are Forever, From Russia With Love, Risico, From A View To A Kill, For Your Eyes Only and Thunderball.
Packing out at over 300 pages the book compiles the complete comic strip adaptations of the famous Bond books as originally written by Ian Fleming.
The comic strip originally appeared in the British's newspaper The Daily Express in the late 1950s and early 1960s and are faithfully reproduced by Titan Books.
Relive the action, adventure, danger and intrigue as Bond womanizes, uses various clever gadgets, drives fast and exotic cars and enjoys the occasional martini--shaken not stirred.
In my opinion Timothy Dalton's take on James Bond is the closest to the Bond books with Daniel Craig coming in a close second. His Bond was much more moody as well as deadly.
The original Silver Screen James Bond: Sean Connery, set the standard for all 'Bond' actors to follow.
Isaiah 40:31 (NKJV) “But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.
