James Bond & Friends

What is the legacy of Richard Chopping on Bond's look and feel?  The panel takes a look at the first edition of 'From Russia, With Love' by Richard Chopping. Why is it such a striking piece of art and how did covers that followed it emulate it? Then, each panelist introduces another dusk jacket or cover art for the same title worthy of praise, or merely of interest.  Along the way, the panel discovers mysterious murders, art behind the Iron Curtain, the disappearing comma, and Soul Bass Bond.  Peter's pick   Sean's pick  Ben's pick  David's pick  The recording took place on January 29th, 2021 in New Zealand, UK, Germany, and Spain.  Paul Atkinson is a co-founder of MI6-HQ.com and the magazine MI6 Confidential  Peter Lorenz runs the Illustrated 007 blog  Sean Longmore shares his artwork @ThatTallGinger   David Leigh runs thejamesbonddossier.com  Ben Williams writes for MI6-HQ.com and MI6 Confidential  This podcast is copyright Pretitles LLC © 2021
