This is the Signed unique original Ink drawing by Enric Badia Romero.This is the original artwork Romero inked for a daily episode of the AXA story 'The Desired'.
AXA is exploring the city of the Sea-Dome and is impressed with the technology. A nice touch is that 'The Rulers' of the Sea-Dome are all women as the society is fiercely Matriarchal, although AXA has not yet discovered this fact.
The strip is date stamped on the reverse by the Sun Newspaper, so we know this was first published on 23rd October 1979.
The strip was re-bubbled for a Spanish publication so here is a transcript of the original text in English for reference:
-The project was barely completed when the GREAT CONTAMINATION came..
-The women who designed it, and the men who built it, took refuge from the fire storms in their great dome beneath the sea..
-From the start, the women of the dome were all intellectuals and leaders.. The men brutes and slaves..
