This original published Modesty Blaise daily strip by Enric Romero belongs to The Murder Frame, one of the final major storylines from the legendary newspaper series created by Peter O’Donnell.
Executed in rich black ink with Romero’s unmistakable elegance and precision, strip #9212 delivers a suspenseful sequence filled with tension, strategy, and cinematic pacing. The composition moves seamlessly between intimate dialogue and escalating danger, perfectly showcasing the refined storytelling that made Modesty Blaise an international classic.
The central panel is especially striking, featuring a beautifully rendered portrait of Modesty that highlights Romero’s extraordinary command of expressive linework, contrast, and character presence. The final panel introduces a darker atmosphere of menace and urgency, reinforcing the noir sensibility that defined the later years of the series.
Part of the The Murder Frame storyline published between January and June 1997, this strip represents an important late-period example of Romero’s celebrated collaboration on one of the most sophisticated adventure comic series ever produced.
