Megalomaniac-smashing is a stressful job so I guess one can't be too surprised when Ian Fleming's super-spy James Bond takes a break from saving the world to relieve some tension. I'm not at all shocked that DC would be so graphic in depicting the private moments of Mr. Bond because the Silver Age DC was all about smuggling things in under the radar of the Comics Code Authority.
I can imagine the horrifying slash fiction that this panel will inevitably inspire:
GOLDFINGERED
"Alright, Goldfinger. You expect me to talk?"
"No, Mr. Bond. I expect you to masturbate."
What do you think, shaken? or stirred?

ReplyDeleteIf I can get a copy of the DC comic of Goldfinger, I'll review that too. For now, there are reviews and commentary on the first two Bond novels, the Casino Royale TV show, the Casino Royale movie of 1967, (I really like revieweing Casino Royale for some reason. Can't wait for the new one!) and assorted other Bond films. (The review of Die Another Day was great fun!)
I'm so disturbed by the various implications of that image (especially the length -- my God, the length! -- that I've decided to just pretend that our trusty secret agent has somehow found himself in the J-horror flick, "The Grudge." Look out, 007!
