Howard Gensler has an
article at
Philly.com about a new comic book:
After nearly twenty years, James Bond is returning to comics.
Dynamite Entertainment, of Mount Laurel, New Jersey, has announced perhaps the biggest deal in its history, landing the worldwide rights to publish comic books, digital comics and graphic novels starring Ian Fleming's Secret Agent 007.
As part of the deal, Dynamite plans to create a series of brand-new adventures about the little-known early years of Bond's career, in addition to bringing back famous villains and a bevy of Bond babes.
"James Bond is one of the greatest cultural icons in the world," Dynamite CEO and publisher Nick Barrucci said. "The original prose storytelling serves as the basis for one of the most successful film franchises ever, a franchise that reinvents itself to be in tune with each generation. By doing so, it allows the character to be an ever-progressive pop-culture phenomenon, one that energizes existing fans and engages new fans, thus helping to ensure that Bond's relevance and importance will live on forever. The high-octane action, the charm, the unquestionable allure of this man of action, it all stems from Ian Fleming. We are excited to build upon Fleming's source material with new canonical stories, and are honored at Dynamite to be a small part of his legacy, to be able to bring new stories to fans around the world."
Rico says that one can only await the product...
