James Bond 007

From 1987 to 1990, Titan Books collected and reprinted the classic James Bond newspaper comic strips in a four-issue series, bringing Ian Fleming’s original stories and Jim Lawrence’s scripts to a new generation. The artwork, primarily by John McLusky and Yaroslav Horak, captured the suave, dangerous world of 007 in a format that bridged the gap between the novels and the films. This series matters as a key archival release, preserving the often-overlooked sequential-art adventures that kept Bond alive on the page during the decades between Fleming’s novels and the modern movie era.
