Peter O'Donnell (Author), Enric Badia Romero (Illustrator)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 3, 2007

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 stumbles from a babysitting job into a mob war in The Reluctant Chaperon; shoots for the heart in The Greenwood Maid; a lover’s betrayal puts both Modesty and Willie in the gladiatorial arena in Those About to Die; and in The Inca Trail, the duo save two children... and stop a revolution!

Featuring brand new story commentaries by Modesty creator Peter O’Donnell, plus an exclusive introduction, this latest addition to the Modesty Blaise library is not to be missed!

4.0 out of 5 stars Correction to Amazon details, September 26, 2009

This review is from: Modesty Blaise: The Inca Trail (Modesty Blaise (Graphic Novels)) (Paperback)

I believe the Amazon description of the contents as of 2009/09/27 (The Vanishing Dollybirds, The Junk Men, Death Trap), has been mistakenly transcribed from another collection (Death Trap). According to [...], it really contains "The Reluctant Chaperone", "The Greenwood Maid", and "Those About to Die".

(Note that my start rating is my estimate of how much I'll enjoy it based on the other collections, because the review form has that as a mandatory field.)

This review is from: Modesty Blaise: The Inca Trail (Modesty Blaise (Graphic Novels)) (Paperback)

I only give this 3 stars because I like the novels more than the cartoons, and this is a cartoon book.
