Bond completists - who owns this comic?

From 1963... :flower:



An average-condition copy (ie below my standards) went for $60.00 on eBay recently....

Dog, that looks interesting. Was it a one-off or a series?

My interest in comics tends to be more at the comedy end of things (R.Crumb, Gilbert Shelton, Viz and so on) and SF (Trigan Empire, Dan Dare and Ministry of Space.)

It was a one-off. This story was originally published in the British Classics Illustrated #158A. The US edition was edited to delete all racial skin color and dialogue. It was the first movie adaptation DC comics published in the Silver Age of comics (1956-69)

We were ahead of our time. Even then.

:roll:

Gotta love PC liberalism...they even managed to make Bond look like JFK.

I bought a copy of this at San Diego Comic-Con 2010 for $100. It's a must-have for any true Bond collection, IMO!

Interesting cover ... Bond appears to be the one 'monologuing', as opposed to the villain. :suspect:

I'm trying to concentrate on the cover, but all I can see is Dr Sect's arse.

My compliments to the chef.

A common occurrence around here.

Not that I mind.

If I'm judging by the cover, it seems Bond was blonde years before that was the standard, too!

I can remember having Moonraker, FYEO and Octopussy annuals as a kid ... the Octopussy one had a comic-strip adaptation of the movie in it.
