Peter O’Donnell, the creator of Modesty Blaise, has died at the age of 90 at his home in the South of England. Modesty Blaise was one of the most important British newspapers strips and ran in London newspaper Evening Standard from May 1963 until 2001. The strip had many admirers and was an influence on the James Bond films. I was lucky enough to interview O’Donnell a few years ago for issue #225 of the Judge Dredd Megazine.
O’Donnell’s obituary appeared in The Times.
Also Rich Johnston has run a story about it on Bleeding Cool.
