![]() ![]() My sole complaint with Silverfin is that it just doesn’t feel like Bond. Still, Higson was clearly writing a prequel to the books rather than the films if he had set this tale any later it would only have riled up the Bond literature fans. While this may correspond with the Bond of Fleming’s 50s novels, it is confusing when Daniel Craig’s iteration is so prominent featured in the media. ![]() Given that Bond has changed, but rarely evolved, over the last 50 years without aging a day, Silverfin’s 1933 setting is somewhat off-putting. I have always been a fan of Walker since his work on 2000AD’s A.B.C Warriors, and his at here is crisp and atmospheric, though his tendency for heavy shading does give his splendid illustrations too much of a Gothic/Victorian vibe for the 30s locales. Charlie Higson’s adaptation of his own novel into the comic medium is more than competent, and Kev Walker’s art is always excellent. ![]()
