Have they ever made any 007 Comics?? I do remember they started to get allot more Merch.. for Moonraker! I got bubble gum cards as a kid!! But did they ever make for any of Roger Moore's 007 films.. any Comic Books??

I personally got an Octopussy Magazine.. but it wasn't a comic book..

I'd love to know & if so.. buy some Roger 007 Comic Books!!

Marvel produced comic book adaptations of the movies FYEO and OP.

[zencat]

They did a FYEO two-parter in comic book size (I'm assuming this is what you're specifically looking for). It also appeared in magazine size (like the Octopussy adaptation) and a paperback book. As far as I know, the Octopussy adaptation never appeared in comic book size. If it did, I need it now!

There was a different Octopussy magazine size comic adaptation done in Sweden, also a Swedish AVTAK.

But I think that was it for the Roger films. With all the Moonraker merchandise, I'm amazed they didn't do a comic.

zen, I'm not sure of the vagaries of US/UK merchandise but in the UK, the Octopussy Marvel comic was hardback, like an annual.

The FYEO comic (larger format) was a magazine, albeit stronger than the two parter.

Hey, I didn't know there was a hardcover Octopussy. I'd like to get me one of those. I do have the LTK in a hardcover.

Thanks for the heads-up, Simon.

Likewise, I didn't know about the paperback Octopussy comic.

In fact, those Moore comics, the LTK hard and soft back, and the Dr No comic are about all that were done for English language comic adaptations, weren't they? Incredible that there were fully three variations for just one film.

Do you have the Dr No comic? Is it a faithful adaptation or does it wander?

[zencat]

I have the Dr. No comic. I haven't looked at it in a while, but I think it's pretty much the film.

The most unusual of the "comics" is that paperback book size FYEO. These were in vogue in the early '80s, but quickly disappeared (too hard on the eyes, I imagine). I remember there was one for The Empire Strikes Back which came out before the film and spoiled the "twist." I keep this one on the shelf with my novelizations.

I've got a Roger Moore comic dealing with his career. These were printed in about 1991 or 92. They also did ones on Connery and Dalton.

I remember TESB one too. That brings back memories!

[Sick Sense]

If someone can explain how to get the picture in my post with out having to open an attatchment FOR THE LOVE OF GOD LET ME KNOW

[Sick Sense]

[Sick Sense]

I fogot to add that I picked these up on ebay one late night for about $3.50........ebay is great for bond stuff. these comics are one of my favorite peices of my collection.

[DLibrasnow]

Just had a look at a US Octopussy comic on Ebay and it looks as though it has the same design of cover as the UK, just hardback.

Good luck with the hunting.

[4 Ur Eyez Only]

I think i'll wait to bid on ebay .. because I think WE all will be competing with each other

I'll just wait until everyone forgets this topic.. and bid in a few weeks when i see them list again

hahahahahahahahha

[DLibrasnow]

Yeah, this thread has reinvigorated interest in those comics...
