Dynamite Entertainment has announced that Ian Fleming’s 007 is set to embark on missions and adventures in a brand new ongoing James Bond comic book series launching this coming December by way of writers Vita Ayala (Xena) and Danny Lore (Queen of Bad Dreams) and artist Eric Gapstur (Animosity: Evolution).
When a priceless, iconic piece of art is deemed a fake, an entire Pandora’s Box of international crime and corruption unfolds. But is Bond out of his element or right at home in this world? Art forgery is glamor and splashiness, yet it’s also subtlety and sleight of hand. All arenas that James has some expertise in, except for the knowledge…
There’s cool, and then there’s Cool, with a capital C, and for me, that’s always been James Bond,” said Lore, with Ayala adding: “Since I can remember, he has been the epitome of suave. His cold efficiency mixed with that dry wit and charming smile… the work gets done, and he gets the girl(s) along the way. There is something timeless about Bond that allows him to be put into almost any era and situation.”
“Danny and Vita wasted no time in knocking me on the floor with the first three pages of the script, laying down an artistic gauntlet that is no doubt the most challenging sequence I’ve ever drawn,” added Gapstur. “It’s exciting!”
James Bond #1 will go on sale in December 2019.
