Hi guys.

Just wondering if any of you have seen this Bond book cover before?



This is apparently the original art work and it's up for auction on eBay. Here's the description:

ORIGINAL ARTWORK by DAVID SCUTT
FOR THE COVER OF THE MOONRAKER PAPERBACK
The UK paperback reissue c1995
A superb piece of work by Scutt beautifully mounted and framed by a professional picture framer
The artwork is immaculate and undamaged - SIGNED by Scutt at bottom right
This is NOT a print or copy but genuine original work by Scutt

That all seems fine. But isn't that a faberge egg? Wouldn't that mean that the artwork appeared on the Octopussy re-issue?

Did it actually appear on a re-issue at all? I've personally never seen it. But I'm not exactly a know it all am I

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

From Russia With Love? What the frig? Where do they pull that from?

Maybe it was designed with another one in mind, but used for FRWL because of the amount of red in the picture, I dunno.
