 not what I expected September 20, 2006
14 out of 19 found this review helpful
Nothing in the Amazon descriptions said this was a collection of comic strips from the newspaper. I was expecting the novel by Kinglsey Amis. All the others in the series (I now see) say "graphic novel" in their title.
 An absolute "must-have" for all dedicated James Bond fans September 5, 2006

Latest in a series of James Bond daily strip collections, James Bond 007: Colonel Sun by the team of Kingsley Amis, Jim Lawrence, and Yaroslav Horak is a graphic novel compilation of black-and-white daily newspaper strips that adapted Ian Fleming's classic James Bond action-adventure story "River of Death" and Sir Kingsley Amis' James Bond story "Golden Sun" to comic format. In addition to flawless reproductions of the original strips, James Bond 007: Colonel Sun includes an introduction by Britt Ekland, a summary of how Kingsley Amis came to continue the Bond legacy after Fleming's passing in 1964, and an interview with comic-strip artist and adapter Jim Lawrence. James Bond 007: Colonel Sun is an absolute "must-have" for all dedicated James Bond fans.
 Thanks for the non-Fleming titles August 27, 2006

Colonel Sun has always been my favorite non-Fleming novel and I've followed the Daily Express strip collections eagerly. I'm actually more interested now in the original stories for the paper, such as River of Death which is included in this volume. I think the art suffered after losing the original illustrator, however it's still great fun, especially since the strips haven't been movie influenced to a great deal, but stick very close to Fleming's concept.
