Modesty Blaise (1966) is a movie misfire that is still interesting enough to be worth seeing. Nowhere near as good as the novels or comics. All the movie's problems could have been avoided by sacking Joseph Losey as director.

The Black Pearl (Modesty Blaise) collects four of 1960s Modesty Blaise comic-strip adventures by Peter O’Donnell. If you only know the novels you really should check out the comics. Fun exciting stylish slightly sexy comics for grown-ups.

I, Lucifer (1967), the third of Peter O’Donnell’s superb Modesty Blaise novels. Modesty finds herself up against Lucifer, a disturbed young man with unusual powers. He thinks he is Lucifer. The novel is clever, witty and great fun.

I had no idea that Peter O'Donnell, the creator and writer of the Modesty Blaise comics and novels, wrote a stack of gothic romance novels under the name Madeleine Brent. And won romance fiction awards for them!
