My favourite is this one, it has a very Fleming feeling, with the Orient Express in background. Great artwork! :tup:

which is your favourite?


This is my personal favourite, mainly because the image of Tatiana is good, very 'Garbo-esque' imo - which lives up to Fleming's descriptions :D

Also, the train fight is there - I like how it is small and contained within the one compartment window.

Third'd. The Pan FRWL cover is my favourite drawing of Bond, ever.

Same here. Indeed, if ever I have a mental image of the character when reading the books this is the fellow I see; a hint of cruelty in the eyes. I also love this British Pan:

The American Signet covers are evocative of the time also:
