Matt Kindt is a comic artist I discovered in the past year when I read about his book "Super Spy." A complex and beautifully rendered tale of WWII's secret world of underground spy networks, the book is a treat to read. It's one of those graphic novels that you're constantly shuttling back and forth when reading, making sure what you read was actually what happened, piecing together all of the snippets, and learning the true nature of characters as they themselves realize their purpose.
On Kindt's
website, you can check out elements of "Super Spy" in addition to other work he has done, like the terrific "Pistolwhip." In the shop area, you can purchase limited run prints Kindt made of classic spy characters. I picked up the James Bond image. Absolutely worth the $20. Plus, the guy is really nice. When I had a question about the prints, he responded within an hour of my email.
He also has a
blog you can check out of some of his commissions.

Holee crap! That is the most James Bond thing I have ever seen. On the pages of which vintage Bond novel was it printed? Octopussy? Make Russia For Love? Did you know tha Ian Fleming also wrote Chitty Chitty Bang Bang?
You can't get more "James Bond" than that, unless Kindt was able to somehow use Ian Fleming's blood for ink. The print I got was on pages from Thunderball.
