*Modesty Blaise: Around the early 21st Century, when Modesty Blaise was seen only in serialisations in Comics Revue Magazine, the publishers of CR, Manuscript Press, released a couple of MB collections in trade paperback format. Both of them reprinted three complete adventures of Modesty & Willie Garvin, akin to the Titan reprints of the 1980s and 1990s, and sported brand-new and rather spiffy full-colour covers by artist Tom Yeates. They are both now in stock: ‘Lady In The Dark’ (which also presents the stories ‘The Big Mole’ and ‘The Girl from The Future’) and ‘Live Bait’ (co-featuring ‘Milord’ and ‘Samantha and the Cherub’). All tales illustrated by Romero, and written, of course, by Modesty’s creator, Peter O’Donnell. Around twenty years earlier, the American publisher Ken Pierce had released a series of eight comic-sized books reprinting Modesty’s Newspaper adventures. We also have volume 5 of this series available, containing the stories ‘The Ladykillers’, ‘Garvin’s Travels’ and ‘The Scarlet Maiden’, by O’Donnell and Neville Colvin.
