When
Modesty's partner and friend, Willie Garvin, is kidnapped
and drugged to the point of madness by a mysterious organisation,
she must use all her wits to save him - and his sanity...
Hell
Makers
is another interesting addition to the Modesty Blaise
collection of graphic novels. This release sees a change in
the illustrator from Jim Holdaway to Enric Badia Romero. Personally
I prefer Romero's work ever so slightly over Holdaway. While
both are fantastic artists, and to be honest the majority
of casual observers may not be able to tell the difference,
Romero adds that little more depth to his pen work.
There
are some pretty clever ideas in this collection. The fake
car accident was inspired, as was Modesty's ingenious way
of dismounting from a horse and getting the upper hand on
an attacker wielding a gun.
This
collection also includes Take-Over and The War-Lords
of Phoenix, the later of which marks the beginning of
Enric Badia Romero's work on the strip. Plus, an introduction
by acclaimed crime novelist Max Allan Collins (The Road
to Perdition), a gallery of rare Jim Holdaway artwork,
and the first part of a hugely detailed interview with Modesty
creator Peter O'Donnell.
If
you've been collecting this series then this release certainly
won't disappoint.
