Anti-Hero.


The flip-side of the peace and love movement of the 1960s was the anti-hero James Bond.

Bond was selfish, sexist, mercenary, hedonistic, and violent.

He was hardly the example you would want to follow.

But this dark fantasy indulged the shadow side of the Baby-Boomers.

It was glamorous, seductive, and deadly.

And that was just the good guys.
