New Ian Fleming Covers
12th January 2008 / 24th August 2009
The new cover designs have been revealed for
Ian Fleming's series of James Bond novels due to be republished
by Penguin this year. To
coincide with the Ian Fleming centenary, all 14 novels will be
re-released in hardback under the Penguin 007
imprint on May 28th 2008. The covers are by artist Michael Gillette.
Originally from Wales but now based in San Francisco, USA, Gillette
has
worked for
some of the world's biggest clients including Capitol Records,
Greenpeace, Levi and MTV. Of his latest work for Bond, Gillette
wrote on his blog, "Ahh the The 60's. When I was a kid,
I thought this was what illustration was all about - setting
the type and
drawing the images for books."
Update (24th August 2009): Penguin
have issued the 2008 hardback designs in paperback for
the UK. Live And Let Die, Diamonds Are Forever, From Russia With
Love, Goldfinger, You Only Live Twice and The Man With The Golden
Gun are out now. Further re-issues will take place on 1st October
2009
for
Casino
Royale and
Dr No, and on 7th January 2010 for Thunderball,
On Her Majesty's Secret Service and Octopussy & The Living
Daylights. For Your Eyes Only and Moonraker are to be announced.
