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!
A new adventure falls literally into the lap of Modesty and her right-hand man Willie Garvin. Aiding a young girl battling drug addiction leads Modesty into the deepest, grimmest levels of criminal purgatory as she pursues her hatred of drug dealers. But who or what is bad suki and what will be the bloody cost of finding out?
Also collecting The Galley Slaves and The Red Gryphon, this new volume includes an appreciation of artist Jim Holdaway by legendary comics illustrator Walt Simonson (Thor, Elric) and masses of rare and never-before-seen artwork!
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.
