As dangerous as she is desirable, Modesty Blaise, the cult creation of best-selling writer Peter O'Donnell, returns in three devastating adventures! In Willie the Djinn, Modesty and Willie Garvin face political intrigue in the Middle East, while in The Green Eyed Monster, Modesty must deal with a prissy love rival and ruthless kidnappers. And in Death of a Jester, Modesty and Willie get caught up in a bizarre medieval jousting tournament! Featuring brand new story introductions by Modesty creator Peter O'Donnell revealing the creative process behind the tales, this latest addition to Titan's Modesty Blaise library is not to be missed!
"Brilliant slices of retro-chic." - SFX Magazine "A blueprint for the ass-kicking femme" - The Guardian "These are the finest escapist thrillers ever written... It is wonderful that the books are being reissued, that Modesty Blaise is back." - The Times" 14 DEc 2005 Brentwood Gazette: "These classic reads transcend the apparent limitations of a daily three-panel strip format, multi- layered, action-packed character pieces.."
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. Enric Badia Romero has worked for 2000 AD and is the long-term artist of Axa.
