Simon Says – Avenge Bond! is a gen 174-page multifandom anthology edited by Cathi Brown. It was printed in a mixture of mimeo, xerox, and offset printing.
From a 1982 ad in Riders to the Stars #1: "'We are needed... Mrs. Peel... James... Simon. Needed as we never were before...' This zine contains a mixture of the Avengers, The Saint, as well as 007."
From the Editorial
There was something about the title of this zine—SIMON SAYS—AVENGE BOND—that got to me. (HA! And I thought it up.) Well, two things pop into my mind whenever I think of the name.
Simon: one being 'Simple Simon', which doesn't fit the shoe, the other being 'Simon Says'— need I go on? Somehow, the fact that April points out, that Simon means the one gifted with sight, never entered my mind, (I know, what mind!)
But the title kept bringing this picture to mind—of Simon standing there with Bond stretched out prone at his feet, boasting a nice-sized goose-egg on his temple. (Bond's, that is.) The culprit being a good-sized rock wrapped in a piece of paper with a message which curiously, enough bears a sketch of a crudely drawn stick figure with a halo. Now Simon is looking at Steed and Emma, and saying, (you got it!):
"Avenge Bond."
Now to make this vision even more tacky than already is— what if the Bond in question was Moore instead of Connery?
Think about it. I wonder what Freud would make of it? Besides locking me away in a looney-bin that is. ...
