Earlier this week, I posted a blog item about a special email address that Titan Books had set up for readers to send their birthday wishes to Peter O'Donnell, on the event of his 90th birthday. I deleted that blog post, though, when I heard the sad news that O'Donnell, the creator of the Modesty Blaise strip, had passed away in England this past weekend. I'm sorry to hear the news. O'Donnell was a force in comics for decades, beginning in the late '30s, but Modesty Blaise, a kind of female James Bond, but with an even sexier twist, remains his best-known creation. Read more about O'Donnell's life here. May he rest in peace.
