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.

Modesty silently puts down guards in the enemy camp using her trademark kongo weapon - her reward; a bunch of grenades to use later on.

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