21 August 1963
The Manchester Evening News was worth reading…Modesty Blaise and Paul Temple.
@HannahHowe We had it in a national Dutch newspaper.
( "Algemeen Dagblad") "Modesty" was ¨Miranda¨, Willy was Willy.
The ¨kongo", indeed !.
It stopped when some scenes become a bit too explicit for the taste of the readers.
Same period Mandrake The Illusionist was running. Good , but every first picture of three was about what happened in the previous set of three,
@HannahHowe Bristol Evening Post carried Modesty Blaise (often not wearing very much, hardly modest, and it can't have been an accident that her sidekick was called Willie - and this in a family newspaper!) and Bristow ("The Great Tea Trolley Disaster of '67").
