Now that I've streamlined my Young Bond site into a source for just Young Bond news, I've decided to launch a sister blog that will cover all the other Bond literary news, with a particular emphasis on Devil May Care.

I building up the site with some old stories so we a nice record of all the Centenary whatnot. But this means you might see some two-year-old old stories at the top of your feed. Feedreader, I think, grabs the most recent posts regardless of date.

Heh.. you should have just said something to me. I could have changed the name/domain of my blog and merged all this in. God knows I don't update it as much as I probably should. But now it's on.... :D

Still don't know what I'm gonna do with it. More so now with the whole CBn thing.

Yeah, it loaded everything (I assume) in date order back to May 18. 26 articles in all, to date.

Hey, you can never have too many James Bond websites. :P (I've got your site up as a feed.)

I didn't really plan on doing this. I was just messing around with Blogger and I fell in love with how easy it was to use. Whipped up the site in one day.

I like the design, zen. Kind of a mix between the Dr. No film main title logos and the literary coverage. :D

Pretty sweet man! Are you planning on collecting reviews/articles and such relating to the books new and old? Why not throw everything literary in one place right.

Added the feed to my reader too.

Not the old. I like the idea of a lean and mean blog focused on what's new and upcoming.

I can't take credit for that because it's just one of Blooger templets...but, yeah, it really works! Very Dr. Noish.

Zen, if I were paying you for your Bond-related work I'd immediately give you a raise for that. Good work!

Thanks Scrambled Eggs.

That's artwork from a serialization of Colonel Sun in TRUE Magazine (I think). It's works perfect, doesn't it? :D

Its terrific. But which bit of Colonel Sun is it depicting?

I assume it's something from your private collection and not readily available?

It's the torture scene. Note how he's bleeding from the ear.

I have the True magazine in my collection, but I don't remember if this is a scan or something I found online. I just had it in my images folder.

It would appear that the young lady in that picture forgot to wear all her clothes.

I thought it was high time someone brought nudity to the internet.
