Willy Garvin, ultimate knife thrower!

Willy Garvin is a fictional character in a series of books, and more famously comics, written by Peter O'Donnel. Willy is the side-kick of Modesty Blaise, a beautiful master of martial arts and many other skills needed to successfully guide a major criminal organization, and now work for the good-guys just for the adventure of it. Willy is no slouch himself in many skills, but his one great art is knife throwing, or more properly, throwing of any weapon suitable to the task, for Willy is a master thrower period!

This material is courtesy of Craig Malot of Australia (cmalot@pcug.org.au). It is from a few different Modesty Blaise books by Peter O'Donnell. This is by no means all the throwing material throughout the Modesty Blaise texts (including the comics), but it at least gives something of a feel for it.

I hope for some of you this introduction will lead you to want to get into Modesty Blaise yourself. She has quite a following in Scandinavia where the Modesty Blaise mailing list originates. Please check in by sending a message to modesty-blaise@math.uio.no In the messge put:
