I've always been a huge Bond fan .. as Politically Incorrect as it is these days.
There was a time i could tell you evey bod gun/car/girl off the top of my head .. I have all the books .. including the ones written after Fleming. I have books about bond .. I have every movie on DVD, most on Laserdisc, and all on VHS. Every soundtrack too .. Man those John BArry scores kick ass !!!! The series has faltered (Moonraker) and has picked back up again (tomorrow never dies) Its one of the longest running franchises (if not the longest) and no matter what .. I'll always follow it. Best Villian : Christopher Walken

Urgeok, if you have a whole bunch of the books n stuff, I was just wondering, have you ever seen the graphic novel kinda thing?...I think it came before most (or even all) of the films, and was by Fleming, but I'm not sure who did the art.
Basically the whole storyline involved JB protecting some chick in a house/barn out in the middle of nowhere against her 3 would-be assassins? I'm not 100% but JB himself may have been shot and/or killed in the end? I'm not sure of the name, but I found a copy in an old bookstore a long time ago and quite enjoyed reading it. Very oldskool. Ok, and to keep on topic, I watched Office Space for the first time in a few years...man, I always loved this movie...

It was a roadside diner/motel and 3 crooks were trying to hole up in it. (Bond and girl survived) I never saw the graphic novel though. Most of the Bond books were first published in Playboy.

hehe...
Was "A View to a KIll" actually a book? Because, love it though i do, it was an awful movie. Tanya roberts is a moron and a shitty actress, and james bond had sex with Grace Jones?!?! ick.... Actually, Haley Barry was the first attractive black woman that Bond Banged.

Hmmm....I've been looking for the graphic novel in question....can't seem to find it, all I know is that it was made very early in the JB movie series, if not before, and it was about (I think) three guys trying to off some woman.
I wish I knew what it was, cos I really liked it. May have been a bunch of the original comic strips all put into a book maybe??

i'd be willing to bet that if there was a graphic novel, it came long after ...
i found a couple of articles that might help you .. The books did come first as shown in the second paragraph Bond In Books Titan Books will be presenting their latest reprints of classic James Bond comic strip adventures. First published as daily newspaper strips in the 1960's, Titan have lovingly collected and remastered the strips as graphic novels. Enter the prize draw at the show for your chance to win a complete set of Titan Classics! Penguin USA will be making the trip across the pond to show off their latest Ian Fleming novels with retro artwork specially commissioned for the series. In 1956 Fleming started selling his novels to be adapted for a comic strip. He was asked to contribute to a series of articles for London's Sunday Times on diamond smuggling. The articles appeared in book form in 1957. Fleming published A successful children's book about a magical car, CHITTY-CHITTY-BANG-BANG. "But some motorcars - mine, for instance, and perhaps yours - are different. If you get to like them and understand them, if you are kind to them and don't scratch their paint and bang their doors, if you fill them up and pump them up when they need it, of you keep them clean and polish and out the rain and snow as much as possible, you will find, you MAY find, that they become almost like persons - MORE than just ordinary persons - MAGICAL PERSONS!!!" The story was adapted into a musical film in 1968. Fleming wrote the book for his son, Caspar, who committed suicide at the age of 23.

The first black woman was the double agent in Live and Let Die. I thought she was attractive .. Actually Grace Jones has a feirce beauty of her own .. she's stunning, just not in the conventional sense. your problem Vod is that you like your black women to look white ! :) and yes Tanya Roberts was an embarrasment to the series
