More awesomeness， with 3 or the 4 titles actually villain names。 In Ripper Jax， features the rescue of a bitchy teen girl/is a knife-wielding low-life with a great monkier in Ireland。 New Zealand （der！） features nicely in The Maori Contract which recycles （or forecycles？） one of O’Donnell’s “kill will recipient” plots。 Honeygun features a great Network-days prologue， and is a stone cold assassin who causes Modesty to wrestle with her code of honour back in Tangier。 Best of the lot is Durango， fe More awesomeness， with 3 or the 4 titles actually villain names。 In Ripper Jax， features the rescue of a bitchy teen girl/is a knife-wielding low-life with a great monkier in Ireland。 New Zealand （der！） features nicely in The Maori Contract which recycles （or forecycles？） one of O’Donnell’s “kill will recipient” plots。 Honeygun features a great Network-days prologue， and is a stone cold assassin who causes Modesty to wrestle with her code of honour back in Tangier。 Best of the lot is Durango， featuring a lovely twist/is a South American guerrilla who kidnaps the Colliers and fights off a rescue mission from the good guys。 Not the finest compilation， but they all can’t be perfect。8/10 。。。more

So sad that probably only 3 more graphic novels remain of the marvellous Modesty Blaise （but fortunately he finished close to 100 graphic novels and a dz novels before his death！）。 4 powerpacked stories。 Ripper Jax takes place in Ireland （bubbles of dry humour too）， while Maori contract is about a heir hunted by bad gangsters （which are hunted down by Modesty -also quite funny）。 Honeygun is more dark， but also wonderful， as is also Durango。 Much more than 11，99 pounds worth -even if I bought the So sad that probably only 3 more graphic novels remain of the marvellous Modesty Blaise （but fortunately he finished close to 100 graphic novels and a dz novels before his death！）。 4 powerpacked stories。 Ripper Jax takes place in Ireland （bubbles of dry humour too）， while Maori contract is about a heir hunted by bad gangsters （which are hunted down by Modesty -also quite funny）。 Honeygun is more dark， but also wonderful， as is also Durango。 Much more than 11，99 pounds worth -even if I bought these pounds at a high price （today the book is 20% cheaper）。 I have to buy a second copy， yes！ 。。。more

*3 and a half stars* It must be a least thirty years since I read any type of comic strip fiction， it took me a while to settle back into it but once I did it was great fun。 I had never heard of the Modesty Blaise books even though they were published over a period of around forty years。 They did feel a little dated with the style of writing and the illustrations but it didn't stop me enjoying the four different stories that are in this collection。 Ripper Jax， the first story in this collection *3 and a half stars* It must be a least thirty years since I read any type of comic strip fiction， it took me a while to settle back into it but once I did it was great fun。 I had never heard of the Modesty Blaise books even though they were published over a period of around forty years。 They did feel a little dated with the style of writing and the illustrations but it didn't stop me enjoying the four different stories that are in this collection。 Ripper Jax， the first story in this collection was my favourite one， it was a good introduction to Modesty and Willie。 There wasn't really any mention of how they met or previous missions so I just read each of the stories as stand alone。 The main point that came across in each story was that every member of the team were loyal to their friends and devoted to each other。 If they owed a favour or somebody was in trouble they would try their hardest to rectify the situation。 I imagine that the series has a big following for those that love this type of fiction， for me it was a complete change。 Not something I would read regularly but one that I would dip into every now and again。 。。。more
