|author=Peter O'Donnell and Enric Badia Romero
|rating=3.5
|genre=Graphic Novels
|summary=[[:Category:Peter O'Donnell|Modesty Blaise]] is slowly becoming like an old flame of mine – just popping back into my life every few months to regale an adventure, have a catch-up and be on her way.

Sarah, the daughter of a slave, lives in a cabin on the plantation with her mother and has been born into a life of servitude. Their father is plantation owner Cornelius Allen, a man prone to violent mood swings: at one moment a benevolent patron, the next, a cruel tyrant.
