Romero, Enrique Badia - Originele cover - Modesty Blaise - (2017)

By Enrique Badia Romero, who illustrated the vast majority of Modesty Blaise comics. He took over during story 18, following the death of Jim Holdaway and then illustrated up to story 41. Then, 3 other illustrators took over, but starting from story 61 until the end (story 95 in 2002) Romero returned (after his own Axa series had ended).

Swedish comic magazine Agent X9/Modesty Blaise is still reprinting the old stories and Romero illustrated the covers of the magazine until 2017. The American magazine Comics Revue also still regularly used covers by Romero.

This is a cover from 2017, for Agent X9/Modesty Blaise.

2 magazines are depicted for reference (I believe they are Swedish and Finnish; could also be Norwegian), but they are not part of this lot.
