I notice that "Young Bond" in the supporting illustration now has Craig's facial features (except with dark hair) rather than the Connery/Brosnan hybrid launched with Silverfin.

Yeah, I guess you could say that. His face seems not to be as long, more similar to Craig. (It's probably the same though.)

Good observation.

Interesting observation, David.

I'd say the most oddball illustration of Young Bond by Kev Walker so far is that for Double or Die. He looks much older than the one above for Hurricane Gold.
