"My take is that the Bond novels as well as the works of ERB, and for that matter most per-1980 popular fiction books, are slowly fading into obscurity. As for Goldfinger -  the movie is one of my favorites in the Bond series, I would rank both…"

"Me either."

"Skin of Evil was the first Next Generation episode that had an impact on me. Up to that point it seemed as if the series was simply treading water, relying on us die hard fans to stick with them irregardless. The writer credit on the episode was to…"

"I rented the audio book of Moonraker to listen to in the car while my wife and I drove to Northern Michigan for vacation this past summer. So much of the beginning involves Bond's card game with Drax at Blades, with the typical Fleming focus…"

"Some believe that Sean Connery was cast as Bond because of his resemblance to McClusky's rendition of 007 in the newspaper strip. As I recall, the writers did a very good job of adapting the novels to strip form. They never strayed as far…"

"The on-going contract with Bob Kane had to have been one of the reasons Julius Schwartz didn't want to take on the Bat books. My understanding is the contract called for Kane (and his ghosts) to produce a certain number of art pages per month…"

"Mine are published by Titan also but they are the Omnibus editions. The stories are collected in the same order as the original novels with the exception of The Spy Who Loved Me . Volume One covers Casino Royale through Thunderball, Volume 2…"

"I have the two volumes collecting the Fleming adaptions so I'll be chiming in as well if you go ahead with it."

"I appreciate the work of both the Bond newspaper strip artists although they have vastly different styles. Whereas McLusky maintains that classic newspaper adventure strip look, Horak's art is some the most stylized comic art I've ever…"

"I've read every Ian Fleming Bond novel at least twice each - the exceptions being Man With The Golden Gun and The Spy Who Loved Me.  I didn't enjoy either of those as much as the other books and never went back for a second reading,…"

"George Harrison gave Sour Milk Sea to Jackie Lomax who was one of the original signees to the Apple Records label. The song used to get a bit of airplay on the FM rock stations in the early Seventies. As I recall, it was a pretty good song."

"Spotted a digital billboard along I-96 in Novi, Michigan that sported a stylized web over a red background with "Stan Lee 1922 - 2018" written along the bottom."

"We all knew he wouldn't be around forever, it just seemed that way, very sad indeed. Other than the recent reports of problems, Stan seemed to have a led a very good life."

"I returned to the Moody Blues this weekend. I chose To Our Children's Children's Children but In Search Of The Lost Chord will be next in my listening line up. Also listening to Catch Bull At Four by Cat Stevens. I love the song Angelsea…"

"Hopefully you will post a synopsis and review. I believe the only element retained in the final film from Serling's screenplay was the "omigosh, I've been on Earth the entire time" bit which he had used a time or two already in…"

"I recently listened to the Moody Blues seven "classic" albums in order of  original release from "Days of Future Passed" through "Seventh Sojourn".  My personal favorites - "In Search of the Lost…"
