Line 938:
* The [[canon (fiction)|canonicity]] of the novels vs. the comic strips is a matter of some debate among fans, as Modesty and Willie occasionally act more ruthlessly in the novels than they do in the comics, and there are occasional inconsistencies. Plus, some comic strips were based upon some of O'Donnell's short stories, and vice-versa, with the inevitable differences between them. In any event, only stories (illustrated or textual) written by O'Donnell himself are considered candidates for canon; none of the film and graphic novel adaptations qualify, including the ''[[My Name is Modesty]]'' film which contradicts elements of the novels and comic strip.
* In [[Quentin Tarantino]]'s film "[[Pulp Fiction (film)|Pulp Fiction]]", the character of Vincent Vega ([[John Travolta]]) is seen in several scenes reading the first Modesty Blaise novel while sitting on the [[toilet]]. The edition Vincent reads has a mock-up cover that Tarantino had his prop department make, based upon the cover of an early edition of the novel (as illustrated at the top of this article).
* The [[Wold Newton Universe]] posits that Modesty is the daughter of [[Tarzan]] and [[La_%28Tarzan%29|La]] of [[Opar]].
* ''Modesty Blaise'' is also the name of a 1994 British band: See [http://www.apricot-records.de/modesty/Welcome.html]
* ''Modesty Blaise'' is also the name of song of Swedish indie pop singer [[Montt Mardié]], featured on the 2006 LP "Drama".
