review:
'James Bond: Casino Royale' by Ian Fleming with adaptation by Van Jensen and art by Dennis Calero is an adaptation of the first James Bond book.
We meet James Bond at the gambling tables in Royale-les-Eaux. In some backstory, we find out that he is out to bankrupt a shady man named Le Chiffre. Helping him out is a woman agent named Vesper Lynn and a CIA agent named Felix Leiter. Hiding in the shadoes is the spy group SMERSH.
If you are only familiar with Bond from the movies, this is a different character. It's also a book that was written in the middle of the last century, so there is lots of sexist behavior on behalf of our hero. The adaptation is pretty solid, and feels like lots of the dialogue is verbatim from the novel. The art is decent too. I enjoyed reading this.
I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Dynamite Entertainment, Diamond Book Distributors, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
