Daily Express approached Ian Fleming to adapt his stories into comic strips
Time: 1957
Place: London, England, United Kingdom
Details: In 1957 the Daily Express approached Ian Fleming to adapt his stories into comic strips, offering him £1,500 per novel and a share of takings from syndication. After initial reluctance, Fleming, who felt the strips would lack the quality of his writing, agreed. To aid the Daily Express in illustrating Bond, Fleming commissioned an artist to create a sketch of how he believed James Bond looked. The illustrator, John McLusky, however, felt that Fleming's 007 looked too "outdated" and "pre-war" and changed Bond to give him a more masculine look.

Best-effort ordering. Some events may appear out of order since many are only known to the year, but they are usually around the same period.
