Canon

Fandom

In terms of fanfiction, the Modesty Blaise fandom appears to be a microfandom, with just 24 works in the fandom in total on Archive of Our Own, 21 of which are tagged with Modesty Blaise as a character. However, fan art seems to be more popular, and there have been communities and fan groups for the fandom over the years, which included discussions of the character.

I’ve said before that all of this talk of a female James Bond makes me roll my eyes because that’s not necessary: Modesty Blaise fits every aspect that people want: she is never a damsel in distress (well, once or twice - but the people putting her in distress usually end up buried). She has so much agency she could open an agency.
