Ian Fleming's impression of James Bond, drawn by an unknown artist (it would seem that out of all the movie Bonds, Pierce Brosnan is the closest to what Fleming envisaged.

He is also a performer and co-creator of 'The Fast Show' and Radio Four's award-winning 'Down the Line' series - recently made into a popular BBC2 sketch show, 'Bellamy's People'.

SilverFin - Young Bond

On Loch SilverFin in Scotland, a bad man lives in a castle with his son. James Bond and his new friend Red Kelly go to the castle. They must find Red's missing cousin, Alfie. But what do they find in the castle? Do they find Alfie, or is it too late?I wouldn't even say the plot is particularly Bond-like. The mystery that unfolds is pretty out there, belonging more in the Hellboy universe than the Bond pantheon. There are also no real twists or surprises, no late-game reveals. It just kind of... moves forward. The only real problem that I have with this graphic novel is that it is incredibly fast-paced. Bond makes a friend at school - all we know about him is that he is smart, nice, a bit pudgy and from India. What else about his schooling at Eton? There seem to be a lot of ... Bond travels to Scotland to visit his aunt and dying uncle. Along the way, he meets a boy named Jimmy who is searching for his missing cousin, and James offers his help. In Scotland, his uncle warns him—based on personal experience—never to become a spy. Ironically, James and his new friend, Jimmy, soon stumble upon Hellebore’s mysterious castle while searching for the missing cousin. They investigate and uncover some frightening clues about Hellebore's true self. The two boys also find that George has realized his father’s treachery and wants to put a stop to it. Together, they meet Hellebore face-to-face, discover that he is more of a monster than they imagined, and put up a vicious fight. Hellebore finds the boys during their mission and threatens them with a shotgun. At the last moment, Algar appears, and he and Hellebore fight until both fall into the loch, where they are consumed by the eels.

Blood in the Water - Young Bond

Encuadernación de tapa blanda. Condition: Bien. 1ª Edición. Primera edición, 2006. Literatura juvenil. Novela. Tapa blanda de editorial ilustrada con solapas. Sin subrayados ni anotaciones. Buen estado de conservación. Because Fleming never explicitly said when James Bond was born, Ian Fleming Publications and Charlie Higson chose the year 1920 as his birth year. SilverFin takes place in 1933. Charmian is James’s aunt and has been responsible for his upbringing since the death of his parents. She’s a strong, independent woman and she believes wholeheartedly in treating children as adults. A hellebore is a poisonous plant often thought to resemble a rose, making a suitable name for the handsome but evil Lord Hellebore.Charlie Higson is the author of the phenomenally successful Young Bond and The Enemy series. Charlie is a man of many talents. He is a successful actor, comedian and writer for television and radio, but has been writing books for children since 2005. Pan’s Labyrinth was amazing. Special effects and fantasy are used for more than just pretty pictures. One thing about this category, is that it's interesting to view the perspective of the illustrator, how they saw the image of the book in their mind, although I can't mark them down if the tree I imagined had brown leaves instead of dark green leaves, as I have not read the actual book. As an avid movie watcher, I enjoyed this spectacular graphic novel! Since I have watched almost every 007 movie, I was definitely not let down. Not only did the author successfully integrate the Bond we know and love, but he was also able to develop a new and interesting plot. I loved it when James encountered the biggest danger of all but was soon saved by the most unexpected hero of them all. Plus, Red constantly provided a witty sense of humor, a characteristic that made him my favorite character. Even though the main plot of the story was intriguing, the several side-plots (e.g.. the Hellebore Cup, a race that took up much of Part I) were hard to follow and in the end, unnecessary. Despite the confusing subplots, I still highly recommend Silverfin to anyone who enjoys graphic novels, adventure-filled books, or just loves James Bond (like I do).
