That sucks, but it looks to me like IFP is setting up 2008 to be a year of big releases to commemorate Fleming's 100th birthday. We're going to get Young Bond Book 4 (January 08), this graphic novel (Summer 08), and the adult one-off (Late 08? - a guess, but 08 in anycase).

Who knows what else.

Good news, and yet bad that we have to wait so long.

Really.. bored. I tried to imitate Walker's work, but I failed miserably and decided to make mine a little more weathered.

Not a bad first (perhaps only) attempt though. I wanted to try something different, thus...

Nice work, K1.

You know, that inspires me to creat a "fan art" gallery on my website. Maybe others want to create Young Bond fan art? Alternate books covers. Ads for a Young Bond movie?

[K1Bond007]

Wouldn't hurt to give it a try.

Could someone point to a place where I can find nice large pictures of all the Young Bond illustrations?

[Johnboy007]

I was thinking that this afternoon, too. So far I haven't found any close up hi-res portraits of anyone. Had to blow one of them up and put it on tracing paper (note the enormous eye).

-----UPDATE-----

Young Bond 'SilverFin' Graphic Novel Coming In May 2008

Plus; 'Hurricane Gold' UK paperback to be published in June 2008

[zencat]

I'm really looking forward to this. I hope Blood Fever and DoD adaptions will come sooner than later.

[zencat]

The SilverFin Graphic Novel is at long last available for pre-order.

I'm VERY jazzed about this book, but, again, I do hope we don't wait as long for the other adaptations. I especially excited to see a Double or Die graphic novel because of the London locations. I think that book in particular contains some tremendous (dark, Gothic) visuals.

-----UPDATE-----

Pre-order The Young Bond Graphic Novel For Charlie Higson's 'SilverFin'

With illustrations by Kev Walker, due out in May '08

Like that price too. They usually seem to charge a bit more for these.

[zencat]

Wonder how many page it will be? How long are the Alex Rider graphic novels? Does anyone know?

Indeed. It would be excellent to see what I was reading displayed in comic form for all 5 of the books. Then, we can have the series continue with further original stories.

Yes, although i think Hurricane Gold would best lend itself to a graphic novel format. Be great to see exotic locations such as Mexico and Mayan ruins, in addition to the "avenue of death" in visual form.

Looks like we're going to have to wait a bit longer for this, dang-it. New release date September 4, 2008. LINK

[sharpshooter]

Damn. We are always waiting it seems.

'SilverFin' Graphic Novel Release Postponed

Kev Walker's adaptation now due 4 September 2008

Frankly, my wallet will be glad this is being delayed.

[sharpshooter]

I have seen an interview with Charlie situated elsewhere where he talks of the SilverFin graphic novel. In summary, he said it is coming along well - they are doing it properly. He believes it will stand up against the likes of Asterix and Tin Tin. I like the sound of that.

'SilverFin' Graphic Novel Gets A Blurb

Adaptation of Charlie Higson's debut Young Bond adventure coming in October '08

[sharpshooter]

I've been wanting to hear something from this, and what a nice blurb this is. It entices me and makes the wait that more painful.

[agentjamesbond007]

I have the text ©2005 version I bought last month. I don't know what the difference is from the new one.

Are you referrring to Higson's SilverFin novel? As this upcoming release is a graphic novel, there's a bit of a difference there...

[zencat]

Scored a very cool promotional poster for the graphic novel.

Pretty sharp looking.
