I SPY -- A VITAL, DIFFICULT -- AND DEADLY ASSIGNMENT !!!

I Spy was a ground breaking television series about spies in a modern world of international espionage. They're on their own. They have their orders, but nobody tells Scotty and Kelly how to carry them out. In their business anything is cricket if they can get away with it. When they get themselves into trouble--well, they're on their own!

Concept cover I came across for the unpublished Hermes Press hardcover edition. Nice collage!

I was contemplating what to do for my next post when it came to me. I've been frustrated with Hermes Press not coming out with the I Spy The Complete Series book. What about getting those issues out there? It would help relieve my feelings and allow me to relive the excitement of the original comic book stories. I've covered the first issue in a previous post. You can pull it up from this link:

The seven book I Spy paperback series. John Tiger added mythology to the series not in the actual television series such as a code name of Domino for Scott & Kelly and a network of other agents.

Front and back cover of the original I Spy Whitman hardcover by their Man from U.N.C.L.E. writer Brandon Keith.

There's a terrific series of seven original I Spy paperback novels written by Walter (Telefon) Wager (as John Tiger.)  Whitman Books released "Message from Moscow" in hardback written by Brandon (Man from U.N.C.L.E.) Keith.

Adored this painting when I saw it used as a TV Guide cover.

The I Spy television series has been released on three budget priced DVD sets. Great video!

Thank You!

Front & back cover to the LP soundtrack for the I Spy television series by masterful Earle Hagen. Fabulous soundtrack I've not seen released on digital or CD.

A paperback series worth checking out, Walter Wager is such a fine author!
