About The Strips
Four years before Sean Connery would bring 007
to the silver screen with "Dr No", Daily Express readers in the
UK got their first sight of James Bond in 1958 with the syndicated
comic strip series of "Casino Royale". The Daily Star concluded
Bond's UK newspaper run with "Polestar", and by 1983, 45 adventures
had been syndicated in British newspapers, with an additional
7 adventures published abroad. An amazing 6,500+ strips had been
produced over the 25 year period.
