Πρόκειται για το κλασικό πλέον βιβλίο του Ian Fleming με τον James Bond αλλά δωσμένο μέσα από τη μορφή ενός graphic novel. Αν και φυσικά ήξερα το story, το συγκεκριμένο το διάβασα πολύ ευχάριστα και έδωσα περισσότερη βαρύτητα στο σχέδιο που μου άρεσε αρκετά.
Κυκλοφορεί στις 7 Μαρτίου από τη Dynamite και εμένα μου είχε σταλθεί για review.

A pretty loving recreation of the original, but boy, Fleming's style does not hold up in a 'let's not sexually harass' world.

I obtained a copy of this ebook via Netgalley for my true and honest opinion.
Ian Fleming’s literary debut featuring British Secret Service agent 007 – Casino Royale but in a Graphic Novel format! I am definitely a fan. The illustration was lovely and would recommend for all James Bond fan.

This one reminded me more of the James Bond novels than the James Bond movies. A slower burn without obscene amounts of explosions. I enjoyed the way Bond’s assessing mind was portrayed with its own font and styling.

A graphic novel retelling of Fleming's debut novel Casio Royale. The book does a good job of condensing the written novels action into the essential words and pictures to keep the tension of the original in the new medium. The art supported the story well, with the technical items (cars, particularly Bond's Bentley, guns, radio's etc.) being well rendered but the coloring of some of the drawings distracted where it put in a hard line that the illustrator did not. Bond's "observational overlay" words over the pictures were a clever use of the medium. An enjoyable and faithful adaptation of the original 1953 debut of Agent 007, James Bond.
