The Eight Strangest James Bond Posters
Weird and wonderful '00' artwork
The gun barrel, the pistol held diagonally across the chest, the bevy of beauties, the montage... Bond posters have adhered to various recognisable formulae over the decades, but as DK’s lavish new book demonstrates, there are also plenty of examples that stray from the path. We thought we’d have a look at some of the more unusual bits of artistic Bondage...

Dr. NoCountry: Italy
Year: 1963 With their immediate use of brazen colour (both in posters and on screen – apart from the opening gun barrel walk), the Bond films announced themselves straight away as vitally, thrillingly up-to-date and ‘60s This Italian teaser however, seems to belong to another era, with a black-and-white, homburged Bond who wouldn’t seem out of place in a noir from 20 years earlier. “Agent 007 has a licence to kill,” says the main text. The bar at the top, meanwhile, demands “Pay attention to this man,” and the other chunk informs us that Bond operates “with all weapons, in all places, at all times”.

| | 3 | Strange Bond | Always love seeing movie posters I haven't seen before - and if they're a little strange all the better. I would have happily sat the 50 pages of posters like this. Some chucklesome words there too Owen, esp loving the Arkwrightism. More
