Jaguar Bond

Steve Banes has posted two obscure examples of an adult comic strip published, apparently for several years, in the Men's magazine, JAGUAR. There's two, one from '66 and one from '69. The latter is standard stuff for this type of strip which all men's mags seemed to have in those days. The former, however, is genuinely funny and amazingly well-drawn! In the comments, Mike Howlett, who knows these things,  identifies the top strip, from the January '66 issue, as being by the great comic book artist Bob Powell.

It was probably my favorite song that year and I never even saw the movie until it hit television a few years later!

In '66, BEN CASEY ended both its TV and comics page runs, freeing up Adams to seek work at DC and subsequently revolutionize comics art in the late sixties.
