This is the Signed unique original Pen & Ink drawing by Enric Badia Romero.

Modesty, Willie and their guide Gil, are operating an under the radar rescue operation in the small South American republic of Cuarembo. A particularly feisty English girl, Diana Millard, has been kidnapped by revolutionaries and is being held hostage in the deep jungle.

Having freed the hostage and eliminated some of her captors, the rescue operation encounters a serious problem as their escape boat has vanished.

This represents a very early work in the Modesty timeline, and forms part of the third story Romero ever worked on; The Green-Eyed Monster.

The artist has collected a newspaper cutting of the published strip and this is affixed to the reverse, alongside a rubber ink stamp saying the strip was received on 31st December 1970.
