(BOND) BABE OF THE DAY - CAROLINE MUNRO...

"He's the man that I want!" says

lovely CAROLINE MUNRO, pointing

directly at me! And who can blame her?

I'm a fine figure of a man and no mistake.

Gotta go now, the nurse has just brought

my reality pill.) Flibble-dibble.

Kid said...: She can't, 'cos then there'd be none left for you. (I'm Spartacus!); 6 February 2016 at 19:14
Phil said...: One of the few celebs I have two autographs from. And if she comes back here I'll get one more and a photo with her! Anyone remember Lamb's navy rum?; 6 February 2016 at 21:16
Kid said...: I remember it well (never drank it 'though). She was the model.; 6 February 2016 at 22:29
Anonymous said...: I bought a bottle of Lamb's rum just a few weeks ago - I'd completely forgotten about her association with it...yo ho ho me hearties.; 7 February 2016 at 03:00

Now they need a variant of her from when she was supposed to be Vampirella in the canceled Hammer film!; 7 February 2016 at 19:08
Kid said...: I'll take a look, but what I want to know is do they do a life-size inflatable version?

Edit: That's lovely, but it's got a thinner waist than the real Caroline. (I repeat my above question.); 7 February 2016 at 19:54

About the artist:

From 1985 to 2000 A.D. (little joke there), I contributed to a variety of high profile comics and magazines for various companies.

For IPC/FLEETWAY/EGMONT, I freelanced as a lettering and logo artist on various weekly comics and monthly magazines, and also as a resize comic artist and spot illustrator on pocket books, summer specials and annuals.

For MARVEL U.K., BLACK LIBRARY, REDAN and USBORNE BOOKS, I again freelanced as a lettering artist, also working as a restoration artist for MARVEL U.S., restoring and re-creating certain pages of JACK KIRBY art for their MARVEL MASTERWORKS editions.

I also lettered the MARVELMAN sample pages submitted to MARVEL U.S. when they were considering acquiring the character, which - as we all now know - they DID.

Supplied comic strips, cartoons and illustrated advertisements for local business campaigns and newspaper publication on a professional basis since the age of 16. Did my first paid art job for publication at 14 or 15 for Lanarkshire Education Board.

Have also made TV appearances as a collector of memorabilia.
