Take a journey back to James Bond's beginnings with this special collector's issue of MI6 Confidential, celebrating the first 007 film, "Dr. No", as it marks its 50th anniversary in 2012.

Collected amongst these pages are original press materials used to promote the film and lure audiences to cinemas back in 1962.
