James Bond: Casino Royale by Van Jensen, Ian Fleming

3.0

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.
