MI6 CONFIDENTIAL: DOUBLE 007 SPECIAL

MI6 Confidential is releasing two new issues of their illustrated magazine and are offering a special that will save readers some shipping costs from the UK. Issue #16 celebrates the 50th anniversary of "Dr. No". As nobody knew quite what an international sensation Ian Fleming's spy would become on the silver screen, this issue is a fascinating snapshot in time just before Bond Fever hit.

Other features cover the new Bond Girls, the Barbican exhibition, inside the EON archive, and much more. More info at MI6Confidential.

MI6 CONFIDENTIAL

The publishers of MI6 Confidential have announced the release of issue #15. Lavishly produced with rare images and in-depth articles, MI6 Confidential is one of the premiere 007 magazines in print. The new issue features articles about the new Bond film, Skyfall, Fleming publications, Bond comics, and more! When issues go out of print, they tend to triple in price on the collector's market- so order while you can. The magazine is only $10 plus shipping and is available internationally from the MI6 Confidential website.

MI6 CONFIDENTIAL

MI6 Confidential (formerly MI6 Declassified) is a beautifully produced magazine from the UK that publishes in-depth articles and rare images from the world of 007. Like Cinema Retro magazine, these issues go out of print quickly and become highly prized collector's items. Most back issues are out of print and very hard to locate, but there are a few still available through the magazine's website that Spy Vibers will want to track down. I recently ordered issue #11, which features some cool stills from the set of From Russia With Love and other articles. More info at MI6 Confidential.

MI6 DECLASSIFIED: GOLDFINGER

Among the various publications out there for James Bond fans, MI6 Declassified stands out as a regularly published, non-subscription 007 magazine. Each issue highlights one of the films, providing lots of behind-the-scenes info, interviews, and rare images, as well as features about the Bond franchise and latest news. It's a high-quality project, and readers can enjoy the freedom to order issues that spotlight particular films and topics. I was thrilled to receive a review copy of the previous issue #7, which focused on the anniversary of my fave 007 film, On Her Majesty's Secret Service. I was impressed with their production values and articles, and I recommend the magazine to Spy Vibers. MI6 Declassified #8 analyzes the various elements that made Goldfinger such an international phenomenon (which, in turn, launched the 1960s spy boom). Other features include Roger Moore on Kung Fu training for The Man With the Golden Gun, the latest Bond video game, and OSS 117 writer/director Michael Hazanavicius on his Bond influences. Issue #8 and back issues are available on the MI6 Declassified website here.
