WHAT I BOUGHT AT WIZARD WORLD 2

Dell published thousands of paperback books, comic books and magazines over the years the company was in business. At the height of the mid-'60s James Bond craze (circa 1965), the company published the magazine pictured above. It contains articles and photographs from the first three Bond films: DR. NO, FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE and GOLDFINGER. The mag is a much sought after item and is highly prized by 007 collectors.

I found a copy at Wizard World Austin Comic Con this past Friday. The condition wasn't the greatest. There's a light stain on the front cover but the mag is completely intact and readable with no loose or missing pages. A better condition copy would have cost 3 to 4 times as much as this one which I gladly paid twenty-five dollars for. A great find!
