James Bond

James Bond is a fictional British spy created by Ian Fleming.
He first appeared in the novel Casino Royale, written and published in 1953. Many other novels followed in the 1950s and 1960s. After Fleming's death in 1964, other writers took over, releasing more books. Bond was famous for using high-tech weapons and devices, having a license to kill, and for preferring his martinis to be shaken, not stirred.
Although an episode of the CBS series Climax had an hourlong adaptation of Casino Royale, with Barry Nelson playing an American version of Bond, it was not until the release of Dr. No in 1962 that James Bond became a household name. Many other movies followed, with Bond portrayed by multiple actors. These included Sean Connery, David Niven, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan, and Daniel Craig. There have also been radio broadcasts, comic books, and an animated series called James Bond Jr. Bond even inspired similar agents such as Derek Flint and Austin Powers.
Hanna-Barbera referenced and parodied the hero in several of their animated series.
