A little later than originally planned, but the day has arrived and my latest book, “JAMES BOND: The history of the illustrated 007” is now on sale and available through your local book and comics stores.

The book uncovers James Bond’s secret history by examining the untold story of his 50 year portrayal in comic books and newspaper strips from around the world.

As well as a history of Bond in comics, the book includes a detailed look at over a hundred Bond stories published in the comics medium, interviews with various Bond comics creators and a look at many of the Bond spoofs. The book is lavishly illustrated with examples of comic book covers from around the world, artwork from comics and the newspaper strips, and sketches as well as a variety of movie posters and first edition book cover art.

“JAMES BOND: The history of the illustrated 007” is published by Hermes Press (ISBN 1-932563-18-0), price $29.99. You can take a quantum of solace in knowing that you can buy it through Amazon, and all good bookstores.

To celebrate the launch of the book I’ll be appearing at the following stores in the next few weeks:

Austin Books & Comics – Austin, TX – November 19th, 4:00pm-7:00pm
