Thunderball Pan Paperbacks

About Thunderball Pan Paperbacks

A complete change of cover style with a move away from the pulp fiction art to the more stylised designer imagery of Raymond Hawkey who came to Ian Fleming's attention for his simple but effective cover of the Ipcress file and striking supporting banner artwork for the James Bond's serialised Daily express strips

What's interesting

A legal resolution between Broccoli and Saltzman and story writer McClory was that all contributors got credit the movie was promoted as Ian Fleming's Thunderball , Yet, along with the official credits to screenwriters Richard Maibaum and John Hopkins, the screenplay is also identified as 'based on an original screenplay by Jack Whittingham' and as 'based on the original story by Kevin McClory, Jack Whittingham, and Ian Fleming
