Issue #71 of the full-colour James Bond magazine MI6 Confidential is now shipping worldwide.
Welcome to this special issue where we shift the spotlight to an often overlooked yet crucial aspect of the 007 legacy – the lethal ladies who have tried to outsmart, outfight, and outmanoeuvre James Bond. We dive into the fascinating world of Bond’s female adversaries, exploring their complexity, their motivations, and the unique flair they bring to the franchise.
From the early days of Miss Taro and Fiona Volpe to modern characters like Xenia Onatopp and Valenka, their blend of beauty, brains and brawn has not only given Bond a run for his money, but has also captivated audiences worldwide, leaving an indelible mark on the genre.
We also cover the launch of the first James Bond branded TV reality show ‘007: Road To A Million,’ which may be the last official content for a while as we head in to 2024… But rest assured, we will return!
