Modesty Blaise

From 1972, Minami & Cunha Editores (M & C) launched a Brazilian comics adaptation of Peter O'Donnell's iconic spy-adventure heroine, Modesty Blaise. Spanning just three issues, this short-lived series is most closely associated with artist Benedicto Ignácio Justo de Siqueira, whose distinctive linework brought the cunning and resourceful protagonist to life for a new audience. Though brief, it stands as a notable, early example of international licensing for the character, reflecting the global reach of the Modesty Blaise phenomenon beyond its original British newspaper strip.
