5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic first Young Bond graphic novel, 7 Oct 2008
By John Cox (Hollywood, CA) - See all my reviews
Like the Young Bond series itself, the first Young Bond Graphic Novel adaption is cut above all others in its class. Kev Walker's artwork and layouts are just fantastic, and I'm happy to see that, while they've obviously had to condense the book, nothing major has been omitted (aside from the to-hot-for-the-US-publisher wrestling match between Bond and Wilder). I didn't think the trip to the circus would make this version, but it's there!

I also really enjoyed the new visual winks added by Walker -- like Bond wearing #007 on his chest during the foot race. Maybe that would have been too much for the book, but it works here, and I especially love how it's revealed.

Now, am I crazy, or has Walker revised his image of Young Bond to look a little more like a young Daniel Craig than a young Pierce Brosnan? Hey, it's fine by me!

I really hope this book does well and they continue on with the series. The Young Bond books, IMO, just got better and better as they went along, and it would be wonderful to see Blood Fever, Double or Die, Hurricane Gold, and By Royal Command adapted into graphic novels of this quality.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant Bond, 30 Mar 2009
By S. K. Cowley "Laundry Goddess" (Witney, Oxon, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This graphic novel of Silverfin is extraordinarily good. The characters jump from the page and draw you into the adventure. Little touches like Young James wearing 007 on his racing vest tickled me. My 10 and 8 year olds zipped through it asking if the other novels will also be available in this format. Great job Charlie!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Introduction to Bond, 1 Feb 2009
It has been difficult to persuade my son to read something different. The graphic novel has been a great introduction to something different.
