A collection of Daily Express comic strips published in 1988 by Swedish publisher Alvglans.
Spanish publishing house Buru Lan Ediciones published reprints of many of the Daily Express James Bond comic strips. Volume one consisted of 30 issues that were 24 pages each. Volume two consisted of five issues which served as 120 page omnibus editions collecting their previous reprints.
These reprints were traced and colorized from the originals, which allowed for strips to be enlarged and expanded. Although this may be anathema to purists, Buru Lan did a remarkable job of making colors that felt appropriate to the piece and were not garish or distracting when mixed with Horak’s strong line work, although sometimes the lack of background in some strips is quite noticeable..

From 1965-66, Barcelona based publisher Editorial Ferma reprinted some of the Daily Express James Bond strips across 34 issues. Despite being featured on the cover, the Bond reprints only made up a small portion of these individual issues with the rest of the pages being dedicated to other action oriented heroes.
