Modesty Blaise - cult creation of best-selling author Peter O'Donnell - returns! Adventurer, spy, smuggler, racketeer and all-round bad girl, Modesty is as stylish as she is smart, as lethal and beautiful as a Japanese fighting sword! Thrown into searing hotbeds of danger and intrigue, Modesty will need all her skills and instincts when she incurs the wrath of a Hong Kong master criminal. Trapped between saving a friend and sacrificing her own beliefs, she is caught in the bloody tempest of the Vietnam War and must battle to survive the vengeance of Mister Sun! Collecting the rare and classic newspaper strips from The Evening Standard, this volume also includes a new introduction by, and interview with, Peter O'Donnell.

About the Author
Peter O'Donnell has written in many media, but since he created Modesty Blaise, which was first published in 1963, he has achieved international success. There has even been a film and a TV version of the character. Jim Holdaway held a wide variety of jobs from rubber engraving to shoe advertising but eventually found success working in the comic industry. Among the long list of comics he contributed to were Comic Cuts and Mickey Mouse Weekly.

Graphic SF Reader,
By Blue Tyson "- Research Finished" (Legion clubhouse) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Modesty Blaise: Mister Sun (Modesty Blaise (Graphic Novels)) (Paperback)
Weng does something foolish after he finds out his sister is alive, and gets involved with a drug dealer, and Modesty and Willie end up fighting the Viet Cong to try and get to her. Apart from that, they deal with a psychic and a group of agent recruiters, and a pair of sociopaths running a large call-girl operation.
