    I haven’t got the articles sorry to say, I will try and get some more Bond covers up soon, though.

    Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.

    Comic Book Covers…

    That 2nd one is very familiar. Stephen King has a few versions of it!

    Film Review! I used to buy those regularly. Photoplay not so much, but the first one pictured is in a box with many similar items in my attic.

    What's the last part, CHB , with the 6 pics?

  • Sir MilesSir Miles The Wrong Side Of The WardrobePosts: 31,081Chief of Staff

    I used to pick some of those up at the film fairs I used to attend in Manchester…

    Same question as above - where are the last 6 from? I like them 😁

    I’m not sure where they come from - I have an inkling that they were posters made for the 50th anniversary of DN in 2012 when all the Bonds were shown in a special season at a London cinema, but hopefully someone on here knows the actual answer. I will post some more soon.

    EDIT: The posters are by Owain Wilson and are a personal project of his- I found these on the internet and can only praise the quality of them, I wish he could be assigned to do any future Bond posters! Here is DAF…

    Vintage ads…

    🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

    They're often strange, but those are downright mad!

    Magazine and comic covers…

    Swing with Scooter! 🤣 DC trying frantically to be hip, daddy-o! Let me guess, it didn't last more than ... 6 issues? If it were British, it would have been merged with another title but it probably just disappeared.

    Classics Illustrated I would have loved, had I ever seen any of them.

  • Sir MilesSir Miles The Wrong Side Of The WardrobePosts: 31,081Chief of Staff

    More fabulousness 👏🏻 some of the title stories are glorious 🤣

    It ran for a surprising 36 issues, and yes, disappeared forever. Classics Illustrated portrayed the novels it adapted in a “worthy” manner, storylines were reasonably faithful but the artwork was often pedestrian.

  • BarbelBarbel ScotlandPosts: 42,091Chief of Staff

    36! Surprised to hear that.

    Vintage Pulp Art…

    ”I’ll be late home tonight, darling”…Robert McGinnis, of course…

    Movies and more…

  • Sir MilesSir Miles The Wrong Side Of The WardrobePosts: 31,081Chief of Staff

    Fabulous McGinnis artwork as usual - a few of the others are good too 😁

    Excellent stuff! The first looks very Bondian (of course), I've seen one or two of those girls on Bond posters etc (TB, OHMSS?).

    What's the 5th one from, CHB?

  • CoolHandBondCoolHandBond Mactan IslandPosts: 9,488MI6 Agent

    It’s by Earl Norem (no stranger on this thread) and is the cover to…


    Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.
  • BarbelBarbel ScotlandPosts: 42,091Chief of Staff

    Ah, gotcha. That would make a good segment in one of those anthology horror movies Amicus used to make in the 60s and 70s.

    Is the blaxploitation poster Slaughter ?

  • BarbelBarbel ScotlandPosts: 42,091Chief of Staff

    Don't know, but the second last one is an average Tuesday night in the Mods' chamber here.

  • CoolHandBondCoolHandBond Mactan IslandPosts: 9,488MI6 Agent

    No, Chris, it’s Fred Williamson not Jim Brown, and the movie is Hell Up In Harlem (1973) which also stars our very own Gloria Hendry and Julius Harris.

    😂 That one is John Wayne’s The Green Berets.

    Ah, the perils of looking at AJB on a mobile phone - it is clearer on the laptop. Great artwork either way.

    I could never distinguish anything on a phone, my eyesight being so poor, even with glasses, so I fully understand that, Chris!
