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!

Another collection of 3 excellent Modesty Blaise tales. Bad Suki may be slightly dated as it revolves around the "hippie" era of the late 1960s, but the target of drug use continues today. Overlook the one thing and settle back for 3 exciting Blaise stories that never fail to satisfy!

What can I say? It is a pleasure to be able to buy a Modesty Blaise graphic novel. I was a fun of the comic strips and now it gives me great pleasure to find them as complete comic stories in a book - and three of them in it! I am not going to detail each story, but I will say that if you like thrillers in comic book form you will enjoy Modesty Blaise's. Young readers may find it a bit aged in social attitudes (for example the two heroes, Modesty Blaise and Willie Garvin, seem to be chain smokers), and lack of modern technology. I regret the former but like the latter a lot. They normally come out of trouble just using their wits and physical combat skills, using guns, or other arms, only as a last resort. Purists may also find offensive that these reformed former criminals with a moral sense, lead an expensive and glamourous life as retired people, and they are well respected by Scotland Yard agents and the British Secret Service Head. From that point of view, it may not be a good graphic book for children and young teenagers, as the message may be misunderstood. After all, we don't want them to believe that crime does pay.
