The dark underworld of espionage and crime is lit up by the fatal charms of the gorgeous Modesty Blaise - high priestess of pulp crime and goddess of cult thrillers! Modesty Blaise investigates a murderous family in "The Bluebeard Affair"; her partner, Willie Garvin, joins her to help the FBI in New Orleans in "The Gallows Bird"; in "The Wicked Gnomes", a dangerous organisation kidnaps an old friend; and a crash-landing in the jungle spells trouble in "The Iron God", as diamond thieves threaten our heroes! Featuring brand new story introductions by Modesty creator Peter O'Donnell, plus a very rare interview with O'Donnell, this latest addition to the "Modesty Blaise" library is not to be missed!

When I was a kid I couldn't wait for fridays to go buy my favourite magazine so I can read the comics strips. My favourite character was way cool Modesty Blaise. I a happy that I found her again. Happy reading

This review is from: Modesty Blaise: The Gallows Bird (Paperback)
That intrepid British adventurer, spy, smuggler, and "bad girl" Modest Blaise is back again in another collection of action adventure stories that involve her and her partner, Willie Garvin, into episodes of murder, blackmail, kidnaping, and a "rumble in the jungle". Featuring three of her best stories to date from the combined talents of Peter O'Donnell and Enric Badia Romero, Modesty Blaise: The Gallows Bird includes "The Bluebeard Affair", "The Iron God", and the title piece, "The Gallows Birds". No dedicated Modesty Blaise fan will want to miss this latest graphic novel installment of great fun, high adventure, and hazardous daring-do! Also highly recommended, especially for those new to Modesty Blaise and her adventures, are the earlier graphic novel compilations of her diverse and exciting adventures from Titan Books, including: The Gabriel Set-Up (1840236582); Mister Sun (184023721X); Top Traitor (184023-6841); The Black Pearl (1840238429); Bad Suki (184023864X); The Hell Makers (1840238658); The Green-Eyed Monster (1840238666); and The Puppet Master (1840238674).
