This latest volume features the classic stories The Balloonatic, Death in Slow Motion and The Alternative Man — in which Modesty and Willie race against time to save an old friend and his daughter in a desert; foil a Caribbean drug courier racket while playing Robinson Crusoe; and battle a sinister and deadly assassination bureau!
With story introductions and an exclusive feature and artwork by Eisner-award winning artist Steve Epting, this is a must-have for fans of stylish comic-strip adventure!
Peter O’Donnell was the creator of Modesty Blaise, which was first published in 1963. The internationally successful character has appeared in book, film and comic forms.
Neville Colvin was a noted strip artist whose career began in the 1950s. He is most famous for illustrating Modesty Blaise, but also worked on James Bond and the fondly remembered Ginger & Co. Sadly, he died in 1991.
