Following up the unveiling of the cover artwork last month, the Young Bond Dossier reports that Puffin Books have released the official blurb for the forthcoming graphic novel adaptation of Charlie Higson’s SilverFin.

Adapted from Higson’s debut Young James Bond adventure by artist Kev Walker and featuring more than 300 full color illustrations, the SilverFin graphic novel is slated for release on 2 October 2008 in the UK.

The blurb follows:

It’s James Bond’s first day at Eton, and already he’s met his first enemy. This is the start of an adventure that will take him from the school playing fields to the remote shores of Loch Silverfin and a terrifying discovery that threatens to unleash a new breed of warfare.

The hugely anticipated first-ever Young Bond graphic novel, adapted from Charlie Higson’s bestselling SilverFin, explosively illustrated by Young Bond artist Kev Walker.

Walker, who has contributed to the official Young Bond website, is also responsible for the cover art on the US releases of Blood Fever and Double Or Die.
