issue 70, volume 17, october 2023
We’ve marked a fair few significant milestones in the pages of MI6 Confidential, but none so profound as the 70th anniversary of the publication of ‘Casino Royale’. This 70th issue celebrates seven decades of Bond on the page, with insight from some of the people who know him best. All the continuation authors, to some extent, came to their work as aficionados of the character; here, they recount their stories of meeting James Bond for the first time and becoming stewards of the character in print.
Also in this issue we learn about the inspiration for Miss Moneypenny and how Johanna Harwood approached adapting Fleming’s texts for the screen in the early ‘60s. Finally, we salute an old favourite – Octopussy – which celebrates 40 years in 2023.
