Caïn Groovesnore

Born into the pages of Hugo Pratt's legendary Corto Maltese in 1971, Caïn Groovesnore is one of those wonderfully named supporting figures who haunts the edges of one of European comics' most celebrated series. A Casterman publication that has endured across nearly five decades, Corto Maltese is a rich, literary world, and Caïn moves through it in the company of remarkable characters — Pandora Groovesnore, the enigmatic Raspoutine, and the great adventurer Corto Maltese himself. With only a handful of catalog appearances, Caïn is a rare and intriguing presence, the kind of character that rewards the dedicated reader who ventures deep into Pratt's atmospheric, globe-spanning Bronze Age masterwork.
