Collections & Covers

Explore Modesty Blaise in collected books and magazines. Each series has its own shelf, with genuine covers, edition details and links to identified stories.

356 editions

Titan Books · Original series

Eight selective collections, published in 1985–1990, with painted covers by John M. Burns. Their titles and contents differ from the later library.

Titan Books · Collected edition library

The 30-volume library published in 2004–2017. These are separate editions from the original eight-volume series.

Manuscript Press · Collected books

Live Bait (2002) and Lady in the Dark (2003), each collecting three newspaper stories.

Manuscript Press · Modesty Blaise Quarterly

The 25 numbered Comics Revue Presents Modesty Blaise magazines. These are distinct from the regular Comics Revue anthology. Unestablished issue dates remain blank.

Ken Pierce · First American Edition

Eight volumes published in 1981–1986, with contents checked against the printed covers.

Pioneer · The Official Modesty Blaise

Ten serial comic-book issues, an Annual and a Collection. Individual issues contain instalments of stories, rather than complete collected adventures.

Comics Revue · Regular anthology

Issues whose contents explicitly list Modesty Blaise. This is a growing selection, not a complete issue bibliography. A cover may feature another comic; the Modesty story is linked only when identified.

Dates retain their supported precision. An unknown magazine date is not the date of its original newspaper strips. This is a source-led selection, not a complete bibliography of every printing or issue. Cover and record sources are linked on each edition page.
