James Bond Jr.

James Bond Jr. is a fictional character described as the nephew of Ian Fleming's masterspy James Bond. The name "James Bond Junior" was first used in 1967 for an unsuccessful spinoff novel entitled 003 : The Adventures of James Bond Junior written under the pseudonym R. D. Mascott. The idea of Bond having a nephew was used again in 1991 as an American animated series for television in which the title character defeats threats to the safety of the free world. The series was mildly successful and spawned six episode novelisations by John Peel writing as John Vincent, a 12 issue comic book series by Marvel Comics published in 1992, as well as a video game developed by Eurocom for the NES and Gray Matter for the SNES in 1991. Although these works are based on a character being the nephew of James Bond, Bond is described in Fleming's books as having no surviving relatives. Unbeknownst to agent 007, however, he does have a son as told in Ian Fleming's novel You Only Live Twice. The sonmakes an appearance in a later short story by Raymond Benson titled "Blast from the Past."
