 Guardian Unlimited Books | Review | Modesty ablaze
And artist Jim Holdaway's sequencing comes up fresh: cutaways from close-up to location create tension, but the violence is restrained to about one frame in 50, as abruptly brief as the real thing: a table lamp disintegrates as a truck hits a building.
As for Modesty and her partner Willie Garvin, barring her brush with Cleopatra eyeshadow (the malachite tint is evident even in B/W), they remain shockingly novel: their fl fatigues, which add mass to their outlines, are not vintage at all.
This is drawn as much as stated: Holdaway never objectifies Modesty, even on the rare occasions when he drafts her half-dressed, and when the two are in frame together there's a satisfying dynamic and balance to the graphics.

 Amazon.co.uk: Books: Modesty Blaise: Gabriel Set-up Bk. 1 (Modesty Blaise S.)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
All Modesty’s stories in comics or prose have been written by Peter O’Donnell, and until his early death in 1970, all the comic strips were drawn by the brilliant Jim Holdaway.
Though he sometimes verges on the photo-realist, Holdaway is too full of the joys of the sketched line, and too concerned with the vibrant use of fl areas, “spotted in” for dramatic effect, to be a slave to the photographic approach.
The end result, though Holdaway’s art style makes for a cool surface look, is a series of pretty hot stories, with a warm touch of personal involvement that I have rarely found in other action strips.
