JAMES BOND: ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE

German A1 (23" x 33")
Very Fine Rolled; Artwork by Frank McCarthy
United Artists, 1969

This example is rolled and features terrific artwork of the "new" Bond, George Lazenby, along with exciting action scenes. This example is in outstanding unrestored condition with only light edge wear.

When Sean Connery announced that he was leaving the James Bond franchise, the hunt was on for a replacement. Although the names of many well-known actors were floated - including future Bonds Roger Moore and Timothy Dalton - the role eventually went to Australian fashion model George Lazenby. This actor had only appeared in commercials previously (Lazenby initially met producer Albert R. Broccoli when they were both getting their haircut at the same barbershop). The film is one of the most faithful adaptations of any source novel and is widely considered one of the franchise's finest films. Opposite Diana Rigg as Tracy DiVincenzo and opposing the formidable Telly Savalas as Ernst Stavro Blofeld, who is threatening to devastate the world with a deadly virus, Lazenby made a fascinating Bond, stripped of most of the gadgets that had come to characterize Connery's portrayal.
