Japanese Thunderball Artwork
Tribute art to "Thunderball" in a Japanese poster style. I do apologise in advance to my Japanese readers for the incorrect use of their language and typography. The text is lifted from the original Japanese poster but rearranged. I'm probably saying " Sean Connery IS Technicolor" or something similar

Is or As James Bond?
The US campaign for "You Only Live Twice" used the slogan "Sean Connery IS James Bond" in 1967. When the film was re-released in the early '70 during the Roger Moore area this was not strictly true any more. Consequently the existing posters and lobby cards were re-labeled to "Sean Connery as James Bond", usually be covering the "IS" with "AS". Some examples from the US, Argentina, Australia, Sweden and Italy.
