DC LEGEND AL PLASTINO PASSES AWAY...

 

Sadly, veteran comic artist AL PLASTINO passed away on
November 25th at the age of 91. Plastino drew SUPERMAN,
BATMAN and various other DC COMICS characters through-
out his long and illustrious career, even redrawing JACK KIRBY's
Superman in FOREVER PEOPLE #1. Another legend leaves
comicbook fans the poorer for his passing.

PART TWO Of The SOUND Of BOND: SOUNDTRACK COVER GALLERY...

Copyright relevant owner

Believe it or not, ROGER MOORE is almost three years older than SEAN CONNERY and was 45 when he took over the role of JAMES BOND 007 in LIVE & LET DIE.  I find that surprising as Rog could have passed for at least five years younger than his age, whereas, in an interview given in 1971 to promote DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER, big Tam looked at least ten years older than he actually was.  Of course, time has levelled the field and they both now look as if they'd blow over in a strong wind, but let's all hope that the two actors have a good many years ahead of them, for all the cinematic enjoyment they've given us over the decades.

Anyway, to Roger goes the honour of being the longest-serving Bond so far, with a whopping seven spectacular movies under his belt.  Sean also made seven Bond films, but NEVER SAY NEVER AGAIN was a remake of THUNDERBALL, with a twelve year gap between it and his previous outing as 007, and wasn't an 'official' EON production.  (Though Eon now own the rights to the movie.)

So, without further ado, let's take a look at all seven Original Motion Picture Soundtrack album covers from Roger's thirteen year career as BOND... JAMES BOND - shaken, but definitely not stirred.  (Just had to get it in somewhere.)

Be honest - you thought I'd forgotten, didn't you?  But no, never fear - here, at last, is the next instalment of DALEKS sweet cigarette cards by confectionery manufacturer CADET, released back in the 1960s when DALEKMANIA was still reverberating around the cosmos.  (Well, Britain anyway.)

You've now seen 35 out of 50, which leaves only 15 of them still to go.  So keep your eyes peeled - they'll turn up when you least expect 'em - promise!
