Modesty Blaise

Few characters in comics carry themselves with quite the cool authority of Modesty Blaise, who made her debut in Agent Modesty Blaise #8 in 1968, brought to life by the celebrated creative team of Peter O'Donnell and Jim Holdaway. Born in the Silver Age and published across a remarkable 52-year span, she's a figure of genuine endurance — the kind of character who doesn't just survive comics history but moves through it with style. Her catalog presence, spread across Agent X9 and Agent Modesty Blaise under Semic's banner, speaks to an international following that recognized something special here. If you haven't yet spent time with Modesty Blaise, consider this your warm invitation to remedy that.
