James Bond 007 Casino Royale (the strips) (2005) by Ian Fleming, Anthony Hern, Henry Gammidge and John McLusky.
These comic strip conversions from the Fleming novels run true to the original stories. Appearing in England’s Daily Express newspaper, each set of panels was designed to translate the words into visible action, and that is exactly what they did.
This coffee table book combines the illustrations for not only Casino Royale but also Live And Let Die and Moonraker. Each comic is faithful to the book with the full cast of characters, plots, and action. The torture is there also. A bit subdued for the sensibilities of the audience, but it is there. You get exactly what the readers of 1958 and 1958 wanted in their hero.
This show more compilation comes with an introduction by the late Roger Moore and a review of some of the novels written after Fleming passed away. And each individual title has it’s own intro letting the reader in on a few mild secrets.
This is a book for the completist in us all. A companion to the original novels and a handy reference for what the movies are not, I am certain this book will make many a reader happy. show less
