Honouring unsung horror master Jordi Badía Romero this October
18th June 2019
This October, the Treasury of British Comics will produce a gorgeous tribute to one of the unsung masters of British horror comics – Jordi Badía Romero.
Out on October 17, Misty Presents The Jordi Badia Romero Collection celebrates Romero’s incredible art from supernatural girls comic Misty in a sumptuous hardcover art book that collects stories from the 1980s and showcases this remarkable and criminally–overlooked artist, who died in 1984.
Hailing from Catalan, Jorge (or Jordi) started his career in the early 1950s on Spanish romance and adventure stories. He moved over to on romance stories for UK publisher Fleetway and The Super Cats for Scottish publisher D.C. Thomson and, throughout the 1960s and ‘70s, he worked with his brother, Enrique Badía Romero – artist on Modesty Blaise and Axa. As Jorge B. Galvez, he contributed to US magazine Creepy in the 1970s and worked on Tarzan comics in the 1980s.
This deluxe over-sized 128-page art book celebrates the art of a lost master of horror illustration and is a must for collectors of great comic book art!
