Having been a journalist and a Navy Commander, Ian Fleming went on to great success with James Bond, writing twelve novels and nine short stories before his death in 1964. Additionally, Fleming also wrote children’s book Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and two non-fiction books The Diamond Smugglers and Thrilling Cities. Henry Gammidge worked with artist John McLusky and together they both adapted eleven of Ian Fleming’s James Bond novels. John McLusky started his career as a Second World War artist for Bomber Command. Apart from his Bond adaptations he also worked on comic strips Look and Learn, Laurel & Hardy and the Pink Panther. Writer Peter O’Donnell is best known as the creator of Modesty Blaise but he was also a historical romance novelist under the pseudonym Madeleine Brent.

“Another deathlessly cool collection of Bond’s ‘60s newspaper capers.” – SFX

“offers a more ruthless, undiluted interpretation of 007, and is a must for Bond aficionados.” –Matt Adams

“writer and artist not only pull off with consummate ease the difficult trick of keeping the story in the air in a daily series of two- and three- panel strips, but also maintain tension and action, and supply plenty of shocks, glamorous locations, and, of course, beautiful women.” – Paul McAuley
