CASINO ROYALE GRAPHIC NOVEL

New release: Spy Vibers might recall our summary of recent and upcoming James Bond-related books coming (posted last Dec), but I want to make sure you don't miss this new graphic novel adaptation of Casino Royale from Dynamite comics. From the press release: "Ian Fleming's literary debut of British Secret Service agent 007 is stylishly adapted to the sequential art medium by Van Jensen and Denis Calero in the official James Bond: Casino Royal graphic novel. Sent to a French casino in Royale-les-Eaux, Bond aims to eliminate the threat of the deadly Le Chiffre by bankrupting the ruthless SMERSH operative at the baccarat table. However, when the luck of the draw favors his enemy, 007 becomes the target of assassins and torturers in a high-stakes game of cat-and-mouse." Check out Dynamite for signed editions here (coming May 2nd). Regular editions available from Amazon and your local book and comic book shops. I Love the period-style of the cover illustration (I'd like to see a whole book like that!). The interior art is decidedly more contemporary, but looks pretty cool from what we've seen in previews. Check it out. Enjoy!
