Beginning in March 2004, Titan launched a new series of Modesty Blaise comic strip reprint volumes.

The only complete collection of Modesty Blaise adventures! The books include an introduction to each story by Peter O'Donnell (books 1 to 16), Lawrence Blackmore (books 17 to 24), Simon Ward (book 25), Rick Norwood (book 26), Rebecca Chance (book 28), and Daphne Alexander and Kate McAll (book 30).
