Fifty years. Twenty-three missions. Six actors.

In honor of the 50th anniversary of the James Bond franchise and the upcoming Skyfall, 007’s 23rd mission for MI6, we decided to take a look back on the films’ official posters. While early posters seemed to rely on scantily clad women and bright colors, recent ones have taken a darker turn and bring focus back to the man himself.

Take a look below at the gallery of images. Who’s your favorite Bond? What’s your favorite poster? Let us know in the comments.
