The Ink-Stained Amazon’s Holiday Gift Guide for Geeks Day 1!
Jennifer K. Stuller on December 1, 2010 in UncategorizedHey nerds! Who has two thumbs, speaks limited french and is excited for the holiday season? This moi!
That’s why over the next 12 days (naturally) I’ll be posting gift ideas for all your geeky loved ones, from your Jedis and Padawans, to your Doctors and companions, to those who believe that Whedon is their master now, to your favorite feminist geeks and geek girls – there will be no shortage of gift ideas for the geeks in your life!
Since everyone knows I’m a huge Modesty Blaise fan (and I’ve already alerted the Ink-Stained Hubby to these items) I’m starting the list with . . .
Gifts for the Modesty Blaise Fan
This tres cool Modesty Blaise luggage set features images by Enrique Badía Romero who took over illustration duties after the untimely death of original artist, Jim Holdaway.
Also available is a laptop case.
I’m totally digging this Modesty Blaise t-shirt featuring the tagline from the horrid 1966 film version of the character and an image from the cover of Modesty Blaise.
I also recommend any of the collected strips – published by Titan Books – such as The Gabriel Set-Up – any of the 11 novels (though Modesty Blaise, A Taste for Death, I, Lucifer, and The Silver Mistress are my favorite), or either of the two collections of short stories, Pieces of Modesty and Cobra Trap.
