Millions of copies of the Bond paperbacks were printed in the “Hawkey” series and for many is the definitive paperback series, indeed for many people of a “certain age” it was their introduction to reading James Bond novels. Elements of this design can be found in the Pan “Model” series of the 1970s and in the Panther / Triad series of the 1980s. The consistent use of modern fonts helped the series have a uniform look as did having “JAMES BOND” in large bold text at the top of each book. The uniform design with minimal graphics contrasted with the “painted” designs of the previous series. In 1963 graphic designer (and novelist) Raymond Hawkey created a fresh new look for the Bond novels. Year : 1965 (first published with this artwork) ![]()
