The dark underworld of espionage and crime is lit up by the fatal charms of the gorgeous Modesty Blaise - high priestess of pulp crime. Adventurer, spy, racketeer and all-round bad girl, Modesty is as stylish as she is smart and as lethal as she is beautiful! 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 introductions by creator Peter O'Donnell 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!
