Original Novels
The Girl from U.N.C.L.E. was featured in five original novels, only two of which were published in the United States:
- The Birds of a Feather Affair by Michael Avallone
- The Blazing Affair by Michael Avallone
- The Global Globules Affair - Simon Latter (Published in United Kingdom and in France as L'affaire des Globules)
- The Golden Boats of Tatadata Affair - Simon Latter (Published in United Kingdom only)
- The Cornish Pixie Affair - Peter Leslie (Published in United Kingdom only)
Unlike the series, the novels were quite serious, with the plot of The Birds of a Feather Affair ending in tragedy for April when the 'innocent' character usually featured in the TV show dies despite what April does to stop the villains.
A Girl from U.N.C.L.E. digest magazine was also briefly published, which included novellas not published elsewhere. Gold Key Comics also published a short-lived (5 issue) comic book.

Famous quotes containing the words original and/or novels:
“All good things were at one time bad things; every original sin has developed into an original virtue.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“An art whose limits depend on a moving image, mass audience, and industrial production is bound to differ from an art whose limits depend on language, a limited audience, and individual creation. In short, the filmed novel, in spite of certain resemblances, will inevitably become a different artistic entity from the novel on which it is based.”
—George Bluestone, U.S. educator, critic. “The Limits of the Novel and the Limits of the Film,” Novels Into Film, Johns Hopkins Press (1957)
