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. Modesty's fanatical
hatred of drug dealers plunges her into the grimmest levels
of criminal purgatory in their pursuit. But who or what is
"Bad Suki" and what will be the bloody cost of finding
out?...
In
Bad Suki 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 fanatical hatred of drug dealers.
And
here's one thing that will whet any serious fan's appetite
(but will probably make most people, including me, cringe
with embarrassment). There are a few Jim Holdaway fantasy
illustrations of Modesty in the nude. I might be accused of
being a prude here, but I can't imagine Titan printing fantasy
images of James Bond naked. So why is it okay for images of
a curvaceous Modesty to greet the reader as they turn to the
interior pages?
This
graphic novel also collects The Gallery Slaves and
The Red Gryphon. It is also packed with rare interviews,
exclusive story commentary and masses of obscure and previously
unseen artwork.
As
with other collections in this series, this will only really
appeal to Modesty fans. The stories have aged gracefully,
but will not be to everybody's liking (obviously). Comic strip
historians will be in their element, but most of the public
will wonder what the fuss is all about.
Entertaining...
if you like that sort of thing.
