Pustolovka, špijunka, krijumčarka, utjerivačica raketa i svakako loša cura - to je Modesty Blaise!
Kultna serija stripovskog bestsellera autora Petera O'Donnella vraća se u velikom stilu kroz ovu ediciju poteklu iz starih novinskih pasica prvi puta objavljenih u londonskom Evening Standardu 1963. godine. Svaka stranica sadrži četiri originalno izdane 'pasice', koje su obrojene od 1 do 10,183!

U ovoj knjizi, na pola je ostala nacrtana epizoda Ratnici Fenixa. Na žalost, Jim Holdaway je tragično stradao u prometnoj nesreći. Tako je završio svoj epohalni put strip crtača i ostavio svojim nasljednicima neponovljiv primjer kvalitete klasičnog, realističnog izraza čime postaje uzor mnogim mlađim crtačima. Posla na završetku ove epizpde prihvatio se još jedan velikan u svijetu strip crtača, Enrique Badia Romero.

is an excellent resource on this author.

To help keep the novels and the adventure strip collections separate, here's some info about the Modesty Blaise works.

In 1963, O'Donnell began his 38-year run as writer of the Modesty Blaise adventure story strip, which appeared six days a week in English and Scottish newspapers. He retired the strip in 2001.

Each strip story took 18-20 weeks to complete. Several publishers over the years have attempted to collect these stories in large softcovers. Titan Publishing is currently in the process of bringing them all out in large-format softcover, with 2-3 stories in each books. These are called "graphic novels" in the Goodreads title.

Meanwhile, during those 38 years, O'Donnell also wrote 13 books about Modesty Blaise: 11 novels and 2 short story/novella collections. These stories are not related to the strip stories; they are not novelizations of strip stories. They are entirely new, though the characters and "lives" are the same. These have been labeled "series #0".
