Silverfin: the graphic novel
Book one in the Young Bond series
by
Charlie Higson
Illustrated by Kev Walker
Faithful to Higson's Young Bond series, Silverfin: the graphic novel introduces us to future spy-hero James as a teenager, and reveals the foundations of his future.
A prologue sets the scene of monstrous and untoward events taking place at lake Silverfin in Scotland. Part One sees James' arrival at Eton where it is not long before he makes an enemy of school bully and son of fascistic Lord Hellebore.
In the final section James discovers the full evil - involving powerful serums and human guinea pigs - taking place at Hellebore's Silverfin estate.
In keeping with a 1930s-period feel, greens, browns and grey blues suffuse the pages. The hundreds of frames in this book are an accomplished labour of love, clever realisation and care.
A must for Bond fanatics.
