peculiar literary niche". On a personal note, Burgess added "I admired all the Bond books and I'm sorry there'll be no more. A sad farewell to Fleming". Adaptations Comic strip adaptation (1966–1967) Two of the short stories were adapted for publication in comic-strip format, which were published daily in the Daily Express newspaper and syndicated worldwide. The Living Daylights ran from 12 September to 12 November 1966, adapted by Jim Lawrence and illustrated by Yaroslav Horak; the same pair also worked on Octopussy, which ran from 14 November 1966 to 27 May 1967. The story lines for the strips were altered from the original Fleming version to ensure that they contained a glamorous reason for being Bond involved and to include Bond in action. The strips were reprinted by Titan Books in 1988 and then again in The James Bond Omnibus Vol. 2, published in 2011. Octopussy (1983) In 1983, Eon Productions loosely adapted elements of two of the stories, "Octopussy" and "The Property of a Lady" for the 13th film in their Bond series, starring Roger Moore as Bond. "Octopussy" provided the title of the film and the background for the character Octopussy, the daughter of a character Bond had allowed to commit suicide, rather than face the shame of arrest and imprisonment. The film also used the plot device of auctioning of a Fabergé egg at Sotheby's from "The Property of a Lady", and as with the story, the auction item was described as being the same "property of a lady". The Living Daylights (1987) In 1987, Eon used the plot of "The Living Daylights", almost unchanged, for a section of their 1987 film of the same name. The film starred Timothy Dalton in his first role as Bond, whilst the character of Trigger became that of cello player Kara Milovy. Casino Royale (2006) In 2006, Eon used the plot of Fleming's first novel, Casino Royale, for its 21st film of the same name. However, a main character was named Solange, after the woman featured in "007 in New York". Quantum of Solace (2008) In 2008, Eon used the basic premise from the short story "007 in New York" as part of the film Quantum of Solace, specifically its epilogue, in which Bond warns a female intelligence employee that her boyfriend is an enemy agent. Spectre (2015) In Spectre, Hans Oberhauser, a background character in "Octopussy", is revealed
