Editorial Reviews

Review

“I fell in love with Peter O'Donnell's astonishing heroine, Modesty Blaise, when I was twelve... As I grew up I also came to admire the craft with which she was brought to the world, the lunatic skills of her creator, and, last of all, I found the comic strips, where she started, and discovered just how much of what I loved about Modesty was there from the beginning...” — Neil Gaiman

5.0 out of 5 stars Comic Strips as Good as the Stories, July 5, 2008

By 

Skip Hughes - See all my reviews

This review is from: Modesty Blaise: Yellowstone Booty (Modesty Blaise(Graphic Novels)) (Paperback)

Peter O'Donnell created a rarity in Modesty Blaise. She is fully as believable and engaging in her novels and stories as she is in the long-running comic strips. She and her partner Willie cross back and forth as easily as they go from daily life to the beginning of a caper. The strips are classics. I'm collecting all of them, and I already have all the books. Modesty is just irresistable.

I have read almost all of the Modesty Blaise books, but had never seen the graphic that made her famous. I found this book quite enjoyable. The drawing was almost as good as the plot, both great, and I got a chance to see the real Modesty. Wish I had her on my comics page when I was growing up.

This review is from: Modesty Blaise: Yellowstone Booty (Modesty Blaise(Graphic Novels)) (Paperback)

I only give this 3 stars because I like the novels more than the cartoons. But if I liked cartoons, I'm sure I'd like this.
