Isometrics newspaper strip

Recently (here) I looked at a Daily Express health based comic strip. This is the only other strip I know of but there may be others! This is by the same writer (Ridwan Aitken) but a different Modesty Blaise artist - this time it's Romero.

The whole point of Isometrics seems to be that you can exercise without moving. You just don't move for six seconds (!!!) and that's your exercise. Can't believe this stuff isn't still very popular unless, just maybe, it doesn't work.

All other mentions of Romero on the blog are here

Enric Badia Romero - rare book

Here's a rare book that was up for sale on the Book Palace website recently (here).

It was described thus...The book focuses on the female form in graphic art, with text by Romero, giving insight to his process and development.

Self-published by Romero in 2015, the softcover book, published in black and white, was a follow-up to another self-published title, Erotic Sketches 100, published the previous year. The 70-page book features 122 drawings over 66 pages, the illustrations, accompanied by small insights by Romero about this type of art, advising on the best way to draw the best scenes or bodies.
