Valuation on original Casino Royale Comic strip # 10 & 11
Hello everybody
I am a comics collector from Norway. For a while ago I got hand of strip #10 and 11 from Casino Royale, drawn by the Legendary John McLusky. I would be very grateful if anyone can help me defining the value on these strips.
I have been told that the first three strips were given to the editor of The Daily Express, and they later got lost in a fire. Strip # 10 shows the first ever portrait of Le Chiffre, and strip # 11 then necessarily has one of the ever first official portraits of James Bond. I therefore assume these strips should be quite a treat both for Bond enthusiasts and Comic collectors.
Fun Fact: McLusky's rendering of Bond (quite a bit more masculine than Fleming's commissioned impression of 007) made the visual and aesthetic basis on which Sean Connery later was chosen from.
