Last night I found a box at my house that had a few of the Bond comic strips reprinted in book form. It's been a while since I've looked into what's been printed lately. Here's my checklist:
DAF, FRWL, DN - published by the James Bond Fan Club (USA) in 1981.
Published by Titan in the late 80s/early 90s:
CR, LALD
TMWTGG, TLD
TSWLM
OP, THRarity
Published recently:
OHMSS, YOLT
I also have Italian prints of MR and TB, but of course I would prefer to have English versions of.
Anyone know the current status on vintage Bond comic strips?

Guess you've been out of the loop as Titan is thisclose to completing the reprinting of the whole run.

Wow, they really went gangbusters this time. Looks like I'll have to re-purchase CR/LALD to get MR. And when I get GF it will effectively round out my Ian Fleming collection of comic strips. I'll probably get Colonel Sun as well.
Next question: are the "continuation stories" in the strips worth it? In my youth I would have quickly snapped them up irregardless of quality. Back then I snapped up everything I could on James Bond (as I'm now re-discovering by finally going through some packing boxes). I've kind of leveled off on that so that now I'm a bit more selective.

I stopped reading them after Fleming's were done.

They are hit and miss. Some good art and some not so good. Some good stories and some bad. I find them more interesting than the Fleming adaptations. Worth getting? Yes.

Some are better, or even much better, than others, but overall I think they're worth getting.
