MI6 Competition: MI6 has teamed up with German novel and comic publisher Cross Cult to offer lucky readers the opportunity to win copies of Fleming's titles translated into German with revised cover art by Michael Gillette.
Back in 2008, illustrator Michael Gillette designed 14 covers for Ian Fleming's 007 novels and short story collections. Whilst the cover art has gone in a different direction in English-speaking markets under the stewardship of Vintage and Amazon, Gillette has recently revised some of his work for the German covers. The artworks that got the most substantive revisions are, "Thunderball" - which Gillette explained in an interview he was never fully happy with - and "On Her Majesty's Secret Service", which revises the look of Bond's bride-to-be Tracy Di Vicenzo. More recently Gillette illustrated new covers for the German issues of John Gardner and Kingsley Amis's 007 novels.
