I'll have a look for this tommorow, hopefully it's in stock. It's just been released in Australia recently.

Nice pic of Charlie and Kev Walker at the MCM expo. Dig those SilverFin GN posters.

Finally picked this up. The actual size of the book is smaller than I expected. Half way through, this is actually pretty good. I do hope they continue the graphic novels, adapt the great Blood Fever at least.

I just finished reading the graphic novel and it was superb. I read it in one sitting because I couldn't put it down. I will admit I was making the nosies of the sound effects that Kev Walker had in their. The "Vrooms" etc. Great fun! The drawings were spot on to the original story that I felt I was re-reading the actual book. The final third of the book is Walker's best work and I love the flash backs! I hope we get some news about Double or Die quick.

If your a fan on the Young Bond series you have to pick this up. If you haven't tried out Young Bond yet get this anyways and see what your missing reading.

I just noticed this on the new IFP website:

SilverFin: The Graphic Novel will soon be available in the US and throughout the world.


EDIT: Okay, I have the scoop on the US release. It'll be up on my site shortly.

It is good news. Looking forward to how they might change up the cover art.

I also take it as a good sign that the section on the new IFP website is called Graphic Novels (plural). I haven't heard anything yet about a Blood Fever GN, but here's hoping.

Very cool news - hopefully this is a sign that the SilverFin graphic novel sold pretty well in the UK.

Well we don't know how good SilverFin did sales wise. I'd be interested in knowing (at least generally: good, so-so, not-so-good). I imagine they're going to be done regardless. Walker has already done large parts of them all so, that shouldn't be wasted.

We've see Walker art from the other books, true, but thus doesn't mean that is art for the graphic novels. I say this because all the Walker art for SilverFin pre graphic novel did not show up in the graphic novel. It is stand alone art. I think Walker is commissioned to do several works for each book to be used as promotion (and I expect all of that is being collected in the Dossier). It appears to me he starts fresh with a graphic novel.

Cover art for the French edition:

BTW, there was a Disney Publishing panel at Comic Con. It said they'd announce new graphic novels for 2010. Wondering if they announced SilverFin? I would have gone, but I was lured away by that hussy Mega Fox. B)

I like the look of this French one. What has Fox been up to now Zen? Or is it classified ?

Got a wonderful surprise yesterday. Came home (from have a nice long lunch with Samantha Weinberg actually) and found there was a copy of the US hardcover waiting in my mailbox! Seeing as this doesn't come out until July, this was unexpected indeed.

Posting up cover art on the site.

EDIT: Here we go -- front and back cover.

Firstly, does her Husband know about your lunch? Secondly what the heck is she doing in America? She only lives down the road from me I believe. Thirdly, it's none of my business.

Fourthly, Hardcover? Wow!

Haha. I expect her husband knows. B) She was on a vacation. She has some family here (she and her husband actually lived in LA for a time -- in Studio City, where I now live). She's awesome. Wrote lovely inscriptions in my Moneypenny books.

(BTW, as far as collectibility and value goes, the Moneypenny books far outpace all continuation novels. Secret Servant is especially hard to find. And signed? Forget about it.)

Yes, in the US SilverFin GN is going to be published as a hardcover and paperback.

Very cool, zen!

And interesting point you make about the value of Weinberg's books. I'm kind of surprised to see that The Moneypenny Diaries: Secret Servant hardback listed for such high prices on Amazon already.

Yeah, I'm going to write up a little article and I'll start a thread on the values of the Moneypenny books. They may not have gotten the same attention as YB and DMC, but Moneypenny has kicked their B) in the collectors market.

I look forward to reading that Zencat. I have missed out on the Westbrook books and would like to read them. But ideally I would like to get them in 1st edition.

I saw a Silverfin Graphic Novel signed by Charlie and the artist. Quite a collectors item Id say. Its gone now though. B)

I've always wanted to get my Moneypenny books signed (I have all three first edition hardcovers) but there's been a total absence of signings. I love that series!

What are the dimensions Zen? Are the pages the same size as the UK paperback (although obviously in hardback format)?

The hardcovers make it just a touch bigger. Pages themselves are exactly the same as the UK.

Do you think there will be any graphic novels of the other books or was Silverfin a one-off?
