With a mind as sharp as her fashion sense and fighting skills worthy of any she-samurai, Modesty Blaise - cult creation of best-selling author Peter O'Donnell - is back in another classic collector's edition from Titan! In three thrilling, nerve-shredding stories - Top Traitor, The Vikings and The Head Girls - Modesty must rip deeply through her own organisation to uncover a spy, do battle with homicidal Norsemen and cross claws with a pride of kittens-turned-feral cats. All this action jammed into one volcanic volume! Collecting the rare and classic newspaper strips from The Evening Standard, this volume also includes an exclusive, never-before-seen interview with Peter O'Donnell.

This compilation of Mosdesty strips is highly entertaining, and for Modesty fans, the interviews and Introductions by Peter O'Donnell are worth the price alone. Great fun and proof that comics are not just for kids.

This review is from: Modesty Blaise: Top Traitor (Modesty Blaise (Graphic Novels)) (Paperback)
This book reproduces the daily Modesty Blaise comic strips that cover three story lines. First, a high goverment official is kidnapped in a way that makes his disappearance look like defection. The next, The Viking, pits Blaise and her partner Willy Garvin against a modern-day raider and pirate. In the last story, Blaise and Garvin track murder and secrets with military potential to a school for - well, find out for yourself.
Blaise is a Jane Bond kid of spy character, living comfortably on in retirement from a shady past. As a free-lance, she and Garvin can go places and do things that legal agents can't. She's also deeply loyal to her friends, a fact that drives the plots of the first two stories. Not just interesting (if comic-ish) stories, these B&W comics are also records of their times. Blaise, of course, is a beautiful woman, built to a `60s view of beauty that has since passed out of fashion. Blaise is also the spiritual mother of later spy-babe characters, down to the current day. In themselves or as records of their time, they're good illustrated stories. Enjoy! //wiredweird
