A great strip featuring Modesty, Drawn and Inked by Neville Colvin in 1982 as part of the story 'The Balloonatic’

This is strip Number 5560 from the classic series.

Modesty and Guido are captured after their hot-air balloon crash lands and they witness a duel to the death… they are taken to a glorious Palazzo in the South of Rome.

The evil Count Orlando Smythe has grouped together a crew of terrorists who are featured in the final very detailed beautiful panel.

The speech bubbles and Title are pasted on as is also usually the case.

Neville Colvin was the 5th artist to draw for Modesty Blaise, and worked very closely with the writer Peter O'Donnell for 16 whole stories. The Other artists were Jim Holdaway, Enric Badia Romero John Burns and Patrick Wright.

This Lot is offered with no reserve and will be shipped most carefully and in the friendliest possible manner to the winning bidder.



Very fine - 1 Original artwork - Size 54 x 18 cm.

Unique Objects

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:
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>

Why is this bidder outbidding him- or herself?

Bids exclude the auction fee and shipping costs, which will be added during final payment.
