…Speaking of illustrations, here are a few Dr. No-related images from a pair of accomplished comic artists. First up is Adam Hughes, who has become renowned for his depictions of women both on comic covers and highly sought after convention commission art. He did this Dr. No piece for a lucky friend:

Hughes writes of the piece on his DeviantArt page:
Here’s a rare excursion into REAL PAINT. Hands inside the vehicle, children – we’re in the wild country.
This was done as a Christmas gift for a friend, who loves this era and the James Bond of that period specifically.
Done on illustration board with acrylic paints. All kinds. Liquitex, Holbein, anything I had laying around that wasn’t drier than a pharaoh’s tomb.
I think I went with the blue & orange complimentary color theory on this one simply because they were the paints that were still wet enough to use. Seriously.
Next up is a pair of images from Francesco Francavilla, a rising star in the comic industry, and one of my personal favorites. He’s worked on The Black Coat, Zorro, and the outstanding spy comic Left on Mission. He did these pieces at his sketch blog.

I believe that a print of the poster is available for purchase from Francavilla….
