He illustrated all the feature James Bond stories except Casino Royale.

“This lovingly produced album shows how much fun vintage Bond can be.” – Publisher’s Weekly

“A fast, tough read.” – Empire

“It’s a grittier, more cold-hearted Bond, closer in spirit to the novels than the hi-jinks of the cinema, but Yaroslav Horak’s stylishly scratchy art melds glamour with action for a refreshingly unconventional take on a familiar icon.” – SFX Magazine
