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

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.

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.

"The loves of 007", eh? Tell us more....
Ooohhh….looks a great edition 😁
I haven’t got the articles sorry to say, I will try and get some more Bond covers up soon, though.
Comic Book Covers…
That 2nd one is very familiar. Stephen King has a few versions of it!
We could be here a while. 😉
Bond stuff…and those promise magazine covers…
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?
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 😁

Vintage ads…
I love these old ads…they are totally crackers 🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
They're often strange, but those are downright mad!
Magazine and comic covers…

36! Surprised to hear that.
Vintage Pulp Art…
”I’ll be late home tonight, darling”…Robert McGinnis, of course…
Movies and more…
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?
It’s by Earl Norem (no stranger on this thread) and is the cover to…
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 ?
Don't know, but the second last one is an average Tuesday night in the Mods' chamber here.
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!
