The James Bond Omnibus Vol.1 has been published in the UK. This is an omnibus for the old Daily Express James Bond comic strips. It includes Casino Royale, Live and Let Die, Moonraker, Diamonds Are Forever, From Russia with Love, Dr. No, Goldfinger, Risico, From a View to a Kill, For Your Eyes Only, and Thunderball. Art for these strips was done by John McLusky.
Periodically, Titan Books has been publishing these strips in smaller collections. Many of them are actually original too, like the latest: The Girl Machine which was published just this past July. The stories in The James Bond Omnibus Vol.1 are supposed to be strips based on the novels or short stories which inspired the movies. I suspect a Vol.2 will be on the way though I don’t think there are too many more that could fill a Vol.3.
Anyway, I’ve always enjoyed these strips. They’re pretty cool. Check it out. For American fans, the omnibus will be published on November 17th.

A very tasty collection of James Bond comic adaptations in the James Bond Omnibus Volume 1.
Produced as they were before the movie versions, these adaptations take far more from the original novels by Ian Fleming.
