Maybe start with the first three books (which, IMO, are he best); Licence Renewed, For Special Services, and Icebreaker. If these sell, they can go on and on and maybe do the Benson books as well.

I actually proposed this to an author of a previous Bond comic story. A few years back I actually suggested it to IFP but I think they wanted the attention on their "current" Bond project and I doubt their position would have changed.
The Gardner novels would make excellent graphic art.
Good idea, Zencat. Now, if only that could be done with Shatterhand....

You're probably right. What with SilverFin now and any future projects...

It would revive interest in Gardner's work which would be a positive (on the most part) and would also IFP with some extra revenue but still... can't see it happening.
Great dream though.

Sounds great! A new lease of life for both Gardner's stories and Horak's imagery.

I for one am in favor of ther being more Bond comics. My guess is that his past comic adventures (comic books, that is not the Newspapers strips) didn't seel that well. Otherwise I think we would see more of them.
I remember reading somewhere a few years ago that Jim Lee (mentioned above as the artist of Batman: Hush) was interested in getting the comic rights. If that could ever happen I would be beside myself with joy.

If anything i don't think I'am too bothered about having Gardner comic books. i'm not saying i'am against it. If anything I probably wan't more original Bond stories for comic book version
Please allow me to withdraw the statement i made above. Original bond stories such as Silent Armagedon and Permission To Die, I think where good for graphic novels.
After reading the Gardner reveiws here on Cbn. Gardner graphic novels would make his novels even more like film. We wouldnt see what Gardner desribes in our minds but we would see it visually on paper infront of us. I think Gardner graphic novels would be a fantastic move Zencat.

One of my dreams is to have a monthly Bond Comic series, maybe adapt one novel for 6 issues a year, the other half, do original stories. The Gardner novels I'd love to see are License Renewed (Great for the first six, don't you think?), For Special Services, Role of Honor, Nobody Lives Forever, No Deals, Mr. Bond, and Win Lose or Die
Simlar to the weekly Judge Dredd/2000AD comic series.

I would love to see a similarly serious conversion to graphic novels or manga for the Gardner books.
