Not just direct adaptations of movies and shows, but also licensed new stories of characters from movies and television have offered some good reading.
Milke Grell did a 3-issue series
JAMES BOND: PERMISSION TO DIE that was a great tribute to the Bond movie franchise. Grell's writing style tends to be something similar to the Bond movies themselves, a mix of tongue-in-cheek humor, combined with a very visual cinematic storytelling style largely absent of prose, that works very well and captures the flavor of the movies.
I'm glad I lucked onto this series in the back issue bins shortly after it came out. Grell's work in JON SABLE FREELANCE and MAGGIE THE CAT bordered on Bond material. It was a natural move for him do what amounts to a Bond movie in comic book form.
