Louis Girard

Original strip  #8408 Enric Badia Romero /  Modesty Blaise
Size: 50,5 x 18 cm. Technique: ink on pencil
In 1959, I began my contacts with the foreign market. After many collaborations, England, the USA, France, Italy, Germany, they published my works in various publications. In 1970 I had the fortune to get into the character of MODESTY BLAISE, which I did a first stage until 1978. Due to overwork, I had to leave the series since I had created another AXA character, also destined for an English newspaper.
Undoubtedly influenced by the success of MODESTY, the idea of ​​creating a new character for the "
newspaper strip" began to dominate me .
I had always been attracted to the fantastic subject, and I did a study on the basis of a possible Holocaust. It was THE SUN, a tabloid newspaper, who became interested in my project, and thus on July 4, 1978, the great illusion of my life began. He had achieved the dream of every professional ...!
A strip for the press, with a heroine to my liking and total freedom to develop their adventures.
AXA has been and will be my favorite character, since I have invested in him all my experiences and knowledge regarding the fabulous world of COMIC.

Very good - 1 Original artwork - Size 50,5 x 18 cm.

Occasionally, two different bidders may show up in the bidding history with the same bid amount. This occurs when one user's bid is exactly the same as an automatic (maximum) bid placed by another user earlier. Since the auto-bid was placed first, this takes preference. The bidding history will show both bids, with the auto-bid ranked as the higher of the two.


Double bid

It may appear that the same bid has been placed by two different bidders. This can occur if someone places a bid in another currency which is then rounded to the same amount as the previous bid in %{local_currency}.

This can occur for the following reasons:
1. If an opening bid does not meet a lot’s reserve price (hidden minimum), buyers may try outbidding their earlier bid in order to find that lot’s RP.
2. If an auto-bid (user-set maximum bid) is outbid, the bidding log will show the first and final steps of that user's auto-bid in a row. The new highest bid will be shown at the top.

Why is this bidder outbidding him- or herself?

Bids exclude the auction fee and shipping costs, which will be added during final payment. Any other costs or charges such as customs or import duties, customs clearance and handling may also apply during shipment of your lot and will be charged to you at a later stage if applicable.
