This is the Signed unique original Pen & Ink drawing by Enric Badia Romero.This original Modesty Blaise pen and ink strip is from the first complete story Romero ever illustrated for the series.
Having taken over part-way through '
The Warlords of Phoenix', Peter O'Donnell was happy with Romero's work and wrote the next story '
Willie The Djinn', especially for Romero: the script O'Donnell wrote played deliberately into Romero's hand with a beautiful Modesty, exotic locations, action, and bounteous ladies to focus on.
This strip is signed by Romero in the first panel and has a newspaper cutting of the printed published strip fixed to the back.
Modesty Blaise was Peter O'Donnell's most famous literary creation and has appeared in many popular novels and newspaper strips for nearly 40 years.
It is extremely rare that strips from this early Modesty Blaise become available as they are seldom let go by collectors.

Fantastic clean detailed pen and ink work SIGNED by this very talented and hugely popular Spanish artist. Modesty Blaise is the long running syndicated strip of Peter O'Donnell's adventurous sexy heroine. Modesty Blaise was Peter O'Donnell's most famous literary creation.
