Biography

Romero's career began at the age of 15 when he was taken on as an apprentice of the artist Emilio Freixas.Cite web|last=Friedrich|first=Peter|publisher=Die deutsche Modesty Blaise website|title=Enrique Romero|url=http://www.sayyide.de/html/enrique_romero1.html] After contributing to the publication "Susy" in 1949, he went on to produce artwork for several series under the signature "Badia".Cite web|last=Dan Dare|title=Enrique Badia Romero|url=http://www.dandare.info/artists/romero.htm] He launched the magazine "Alex" in 1953 and two years later founded the publishing firm Ruiz Romero for which he produced the series "Cromos", "Hombres de Lucha" and "Historia de la Guerra".Cite web|last=Lambiek Comiclopedia|title=E.

"Modesty Blaise"

Romero began his association with writer Peter O'Donnell's "Modesty Blaise" strip in 1970 when he was called in to finish the storyline "The War-Lords of Phoenix" due to artist Jim Holdaway's unexpected death. Initially, Romero intentionally imitated Holdaway's style in order to make the changeover less noticeable, but soon established his own take on the character of Modesty Blaise, portraying her in a more exotic and voluptuous style than Holdaway did. Romero drew the "Modesty Blaise" strip until 1978, and while doing episodes of André Chéret's "Rahan" for the comics magazine "Pif gadget" from 1976, and beginning in 1978, Romero collaborated with Donne Avenell to create the science-fiction series "AXA" for the English tabloid newspaper "The Sun".

In 1986 Romero returned to "Modesty Blaise" and remained with the strip until O'Donnell retired in 2001. In 2002, Romero was commissioned to draw a graphic novel adaptation of the "Modesty Blaise" short story "The Dark Angels"; this work was initially published exclusively in Scandinavia but was later reprinted in a special issue of "Comics Revue" in the United States. Romero's 1970s work on the "Modesty Blaise" strip is continually reprinted in an ongoing series of compilation volumes published by the UK company Titan Books since 2005, while "Comics Revue" has reprinted all of his post-1986 work on the strip.

In most recent years, Romero has worked on "Durham Red", and other projects for the magazines "2000 AD" and "Judge Dredd Megazine".
