"Celebrating the incredible art of Jordi Bad a Romero"
^_^ of course, his real name spelling was Jorge (which is basically George). And if I remember right, most of his D.C. Thomson work was him with his brother Enrique Badia Romero. Spanish (Catalan). Jorge Badi Romero then did some US stuff in the 70s and 80s under the name of Jorge B. Galvez.. interestingly, he was mostly a romance artist who did some Adventure strips too.. Known by the nickname Jobaro, he died.. I think early 80s.
This isn't his DC Thomson work though. Misty was an IPC comic. Let's celebrate his art, and this book, rather than nitpicking typos in press releases.
Yeah, no problem there, just thought it was a bit of an iffy mistake, and yes, I know Misty was IPC, it was just comment on his work where he did most of his well known work. I believe this book does, in fact, credit his brother too, which is good.
While I think his best work was with Thomson on stuff like Super Cats, this is good solid work from him and his brother, it's just a shame the PR is a bit rushed and I hope that doesn't give anyone the impression that reprint collection is likewise rushed and tons of mistake.
