Whether it be early conceptual artwork, the production design of sets and gadgets, poster campaigns, or bringing a literary character to life, James Bond's world owes a lot to the many creative processes and talented people who have contributed over the decades.

This special issue features a few snapshots of those elements from the films, books, games and comics - including a lot of rare imagery taken from the archives that fans may not have seen before - and celebrates some of the lives of those who made their mark on the visual experience of 007.

    Indeed. A lot better than the film itself ;)

    I trust you've done a great job as always!

    Received Issue 13 today, thank you. Just had a quick flick through prior to reading it from cover to cover. Looks to be a wide variety of topics covered. Especially looking forward to the articles on Sir Ken Adam and Richard Chopping. Loving the film poster artwork - particularly the various early versions of DAF. Yes, everything is clearly up to Confidential's usual high standards.

    I dunno, there's something about DAF I find quite dull.

    Yeah, that Chopping article was awesome. Nice work, me.

    I actually knew Richard 'Dickie' growing up. He was a family friend along with his partner and renowned artist Denis Wirth-Miller. I was a young child but we holidayed a few times with them in France. I didn't really know he did the Fleming covers until later in my life after his death, which personally is very sad for me now. I would have loved to have asked him about those days, although he had a troublesome relationship with Fleming. He described him as mean and miserly essentially.

    Is issue 13 still available or could tell me where I could get a copy?
