Peter O'Donnell has written in many media, but since he created Modesty Blaise, which was first published in 1963, it has achieved international success. There has even been a film and a TV version of the character. Jim Holdaway has 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.
