Instead of the planned story he wrote "Willie the Djinn" featuring lots of pretty girls designed to play to Romero's strengths. I think it worked and it's a fun story that I always enjoy reading again.Robert Mouberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05237519673539279531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3877993957135490623.post-30669002273605488602014-11-10T15:51:18.158+05:302014-11-10T15:51:18.158+05:30Thanks for Spanish bit,missed it somehow..
Betwee...Thanks for Spanish bit,missed it somehow..<br /><br />Between yes,Holdaway had a way,which is indeed good but somehow didn't appeal to me but he was decent.And about Romero era,the thing I felt(in a negative sense) that sometimes the art took the better position than the script,may be the writer felt that way seeing Romero's talent but stories are bit more on glamour quotient(not complaining!) than the thrill,still most are pretty fine...<br /><br />About John Burns and Neville Colvin's out-put in Modesty,I really felt that way...I haven't seen any of their other work,but after Romero,their versions seems..well...as you said,subjective!<br /><br />Ok..I will post few samples of these artists at this blog-post...HojOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07025339354921022988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3877993957135490623.post-5443066648299002642014-11-10T14:33:35.521+05:302014-11-10T14:33:35.521+05:30"Originally a series of novels" - The co..."Originally a series of novels" - The comic strip predates the first novel by two years.<br /><br />Romero is Spanish, not Italian.<br /><br />I'm a big fan of Romero as I discovered Modesty Blaise during his first run but I think the strip lost something when Jim Holdaway died. His work was full of subtle touches and the body language between Modesty and Willie is something no-one else has managed to capture. A great talent and I'm sure even better would have followed had he lived.<br /><br />I have to take exception to your assessment of the work between Romero's two runs on the strip. To see artists of the calibre of John Burns and Neville Colvin described as "painful" and a "steep low" is baffling to me. I realise it's all subjective but I think Colvin in particular produced some fine work on the strip.<br /><br />BTW, the copy of The Green-Eyed Monster IS a Titan reprint; it comes from the edition published in the '80s during their aborted first attempt to publish all the strips.Robert Mouberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05237519673539279531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3877993957135490623.post-72065184840824247512014-11-10T11:07:35.439+05:302014-11-10T11:07:35.439+05:30hmm....even it surprised me a lot that Modesty was...hmm....even it surprised me a lot that Modesty was published in Bengali only for once,and that too,just a Holdaway story - NOT anything by Romero,the best artist of this series!!<br /><br />Infact,I was introduced with only Holdaway's out-put,which are decent but nothing special,specially his facial-drawing aren't that appealing to me...so i didn't seriously cared about Modesty for a long time,until I was introduced with Axa,learnt about Romero and that he did in MB series too!! From that point I was searching for all comic-strips...and after having all 96,it's clear why Romero was the best!! :-)<br /><br />PS - Modesty's those 13 original novels are equally famous too...specially those earlier versions,which I am trying to locate(hard-copies).HojOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07025339354921022988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3877993957135490623.post-80076137056097134452014-11-09T16:50:36.739+05:302014-11-09T16:50:36.739+05:30khub sundor post khub valo laglo
