Ian Fleming's James Bond 007.

Following the international success of Dr. No (1962), From Russia with Love (1963), and Goldfinger (1964), Sean Connery's James Bond became a global phenomenon, and publishers rushed to feed the public's appetite for the suave secret agent. Goldfinger, directed by Guy Hamilton and starring Connery alongside Honor Blackman as Pussy Galore, Gert Fröbe as the title villain, and Shirley Eaton as the ill-fated Jill Masterson, grossed $125 million worldwide against a budget of just $3 million, and its extraordinary success at the close of 1964 cemented Bond as the dominant cinematic phenomenon of the decade and fueled the wave of tie-in merchandise and periodicals that followed. This Dell one-shot magazine capitalized directly on that success, gathering photographs and features on Connery's 007 and the glamorous women of the films, with the cover promising an inside look at "Goldfinger's Girls" and promoting the issue as containing "exciting, exclusive photos." Dell was already the most prolific publisher of Bond material for the American newsstand market, having also produced the official Dell comic book adaptations of the early Bond films, and this magazine belongs to the broader wave of one-shot movie tie-in publications, spanning fan magazines, photo annuals, and comic adaptations, that publishers across America and Britain rushed into print during the height of Bond mania in the mid-1960s.
