394 - Je n'ai malheureusement gardé que deux albums de Rahan dont les couvertures ne sont même pas dessinées par le légendaire André Chéret mais par Enrique Badia Romero (pas un manchot non plus, remarquez). Mes recueils préférés étaient ceux des années 70 avec le gros bandeau titre en rouge et le numéro dans un éclaté jaune. Je n'en n'ai pour ainsi dire jamais eu aucun, ma mère étant réticente aux bandes dessinées en général et à l'orientation politique des éditions Vaillant en particulier, mais j'allais les lire chez mon voisin Francis dont le père était, lui, militant au parti (merci à toi, camarade!). Les aventures du fils des âges farouches étaient trépidantes et pleine de combats contre les forces de la nature, Quatre-mains, Wampas et autres Goraks. Le dessin était d'un dynamisme que je n'avais encore jamais vu avec ces personnages qui sortaient des cases (je trouvais même ça vachement plus puissant que les Strange des éditions LUG) et, cerise sur le gâteau, les femmes se baladaient seins nus ce qui me changeait du journal de Mickey.

Aujourd'hui je pleure ma jeunesse disparue et je vous prie de croire que ce ne sont pas des larmes de Craôcodiles...

RIP André Chéret (1937-2020)

Inspiré par les Etagères du Capricorne

An excellent selection of images by Romero of the great Modesty Blaise, the crime boss-turned-superspy who is overdue for a proper adaptation in film or TV. The word is that after 3 failed attempts over the years, her creator, Peter O’Donnell, requested before his death that no further attempts be made at adapting her for film, which may explain why - other than a couple of BBC Radio serials a few years ago starring Daphne Alexander that adapted some of the novels - why we haven’t seen any indication of a Modesty Blaise movie, despite the times being so right with a Black Widow movie in development (and Modesty Blaise clearly influenced that character) and a push for more original female hero characters. Quentin Tarantino famously has wanted to do a film for decades - it’s a reason why you kept seeing the first Modesty Blaise novel showing up in Pulp Fiction. Although part of me wants to see O’Donnell’s wishes respected, at the same time I’d love to see Modesty and her “platonic life partner” Willie Garvin arrive in the 21st century to kick ass and take names. Gal Gadot as Modesty, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau as Willie, David Harewood as Sir Gerald Tarrant (MB’s equivalent of M). There - casting sorted!

Romero’s art actually took some getting used to for those familiar with original MB artist Jim Holdaway’s style, but it’s still a fascinating story about how Romero took over when Holdaway suddenly died while working on the comic strip in 1970. In order to maintain continuity, Romero imitated Holdaway’s style for the remainder of the story arc (in those days it took about 6 months of daily strips to tell a story), and then introduced his own style with the next story. He left the strip for a few years in the 1980s, but eventually came back and continued to work on it until O’Donnell retired the strip (and the character) in the early 2000s. The complete run of Modesty Blaise from 1963 to 2002 was reprinted by Titan Books over a 13-year period (I was honoured to have actually provided some information for the first volume) and I highly recommend both it and the novels O’Donnell also wrote over a 30-year period.

From the same Instagram, here’s another post focusing on the art of Jim Holdaway, so you can compare.

Spellbound No. 53, dated 24 September 1977. Lots of finger pointing going on in this Supercats cover. Not sure if this is by Norman Lee, the usual cover artist, or made up from various images of Enrique Badia Romero's interior art. DC Thomson.

Original Enrique Badia Romero art for the Modesty Blaise #7016 daily strip. The whole strip is gorgeous, but I find myself partial to that last panel for some reason.
