Goldfinger was reprinted in 2005 by Titan Books as part of the Dr. No anthology, which in addition to Dr. No, also included Diamonds Are Forever and From Russia, with Love.
This mixes up two different Titan Books collections. Titan’s 2005 Goldfinger volume was its own anthology, while the separate Dr. No volume contained Dr. No, Diamonds Are Forever, and From Russia, With Love.
Full reasoning
Titan Books' own listings show that Goldfinger and Dr. No were published as separate James Bond comic-strip collections.
- Titan's James Bond Goldfinger page says that volume collects Goldfinger and "also collects Risico, From A View To A Kill, For Your Eyes Only and Thunderball."
- Titan's James Bond Dr. No page says that volume "also collects Diamonds Are Forever and From Russia, With Love."
So the article's sentence incorrectly states that Goldfinger was reprinted as part of the Dr. No anthology. The evidence shows instead that Goldfinger had its own Titan Books volume, and that the Dr. No anthology contained different stories.

Fleming's original novel was adapted as a daily comic strip which was published in the same paper and syndicated around the world—the first of the novels to be adapted as such.
Goldfinger was not the first Bond novel adapted into the Daily Express comic strip. Casino Royale was adapted first in 1958, two years before Goldfinger’s strip began.
Full reasoning
This sentence incorrectly says Goldfinger was "the first of the novels to be adapted as such" into a Daily Express comic strip.
Contemporary Bond reference sources show that the first Daily Express Bond comic strip adaptation was Casino Royale, which began on 7 July 1958. By contrast, the Goldfinger strip did not begin until 3 October 1960.
So while Goldfinger was adapted as a daily comic strip, it was not the first Bond novel to receive that treatment.
