Modesty Blaise & Willie Garvin are still amazing, but Romero's illustrations just aren't as good as the Holdaway originals.

Modesty Blaise is kick-ass awesome, and Willie Garvin isn't bad either.

Surprisingly enjoyable for a newspaper strip. The author manages to pack in a reasonable amount of depth - both in plot and character development, given the medium of a three panel comic strip. Another pleasant surprise - it reads like a coherent flowing story. The three panel structure doesn’t get in the way.

I enjoy Modesty and Willie but the cases were at times quite boring. I also dislike the lack of an overarching plot.

New artist, new style, same old Modesty. I wrote a few comments here: http://www.noseinabook.co.uk/?p=2123

I grew up without superhero comics of the Marvel/DC sort; instead, we read Modesty Blaise, Rip Kirby, and various Sergio Bonelli editions. Having re-read Modesty after 20 years, I'm glad to find that it is indeed as smart and fun as I remember.
