Septembris!


September continues with espionage and spies and whatnot. On tap at the Dojo are reviews of all of the James Bond novels and short stories by Ian Fleming and all the movie adaptations made from those stories. We got 'em all -- Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan (maybe not Pierce), Daniel Craig, and even David Niven and Barry Nelson. (Who? Just wait.) I'll be reviewing in order of the novel publication so that means the movie reviews will be all over the place. This should be fun. 


Interspersed with all that...ahem...Bondage, we have Sarge Steel. Sarge was created by the chaps at Charlton Comics to be a hard-nosed detective, but when the winds shifted towards espionage he joined up as did much of the rest of the culture. Vintage revised reviews are forthcoming of all his Charlton Comics appearances, in his own comics and beyond. 





If I have time, I might wrap up this two-month cavalcade of spies with some juicy parodies of the form. But time will tell. 


And it's also the penultimate month for the Atlas-Seaboard line-up. Things are sinking fast. 


And you can't rule out just a dash of Neal Adams to boot. 


So, strap on your jet belt and get ready to Bond --James Bond.
