Montblanc - Great Characters Homage to Queen Special Edition Ballpoint Pen

In the rich history of rock music, few names have shone as consistently as that of the Queen. With a career spanning over five decades, the band is among the most famous of all time.

During this time, Queen became the embodiment of the power of musical creativity, and most of their songs stayed at the top of the charts for weeks. They created a sort of musical universe of their own, composed of a combination of hard rock, glam rock, pop, funk, and opera, breaking down the boundaries between genres.

Inspired by the 1991 Greatest Hits II album, Montblanc pays tribute with the Great Characters Homage to Queen Special Edition to one of Queen's most successful albums. Drawing from the stunning color combination of the double LP Greatest Hits II, the edition features a dark blue with gold finish details.

The four musicians behind the sound of this legendary compilation have gone down in history: Freddie Mercury, the charismatic frontman with a vocal range of several octaves and a rich vibrato; Brian May, the virtuosic guitarist with an unmistakable sound; John Deacon, the versatile and creative bassist; and Roger Taylor, the rhythmic heart of the band. As a testament to their musical virtuosity, which made the 1991 album one of the best-selling and most recognized in the world, their “working tools” are subtly immortalized on the precious resin: microphone and bass on the cap; guitar and drums on the body.

In their Greatest Hits II album, the band presented a wide selection of their chart hits, from rock anthems to catchy pop songs, including iconic tracks like A Kind of Magic, classics like Radio Ga Ga and The Show Must Go On, the electrifying I Want to Break Free, or the poignant Under Pressure, a collaboration with David Bowie. Besides Freddie Mercury's voice, the key to the band's special sound was Brian May's exceptional guitar talent.

The writing instrument pays tribute to him and his virtuosity through the shape of the nib. Designed to reflect the characteristic volume and tone control knobs of his famous electric guitar, the cone features a delicate ribbed pattern, a small red dot, and an engraving of the release date of the Greatest Hits II album. The crown worn by Mercury during the final performance of God Save The Queen inspired the silhouette of the top of the cap of the Special Edition and is at the same time a metaphor for the majestic character of the band and its musical legacy. The gold-finished clip is designed to resemble a microphone stand, referencing one of the hallmarks of Freddie Mercury's live performances.
