Okay so Ian Fleming is having a birthday today. Although the James Bond series that he wrote is not true sci-fi, I do however put him in "related area" because he wrote Chitty Chitty Bang Bang which was turned into a comic book by Gold Key Comics in 1969. Of course over the years the Bond Series have been adapted into comics also so I'm not that far off the mark.
Also I invite you to check out the others, lots of great people to see.
Enjoy !!!
