Corto Maltese #[1]

Jan 1971 · Publicness
“Tristan Bantam”

In "Tristan Bantam," Hugo Pratt’s Corto Maltese sets sail with Steiner and the enigmatic Tristan, chasing the legend of a sunken galleon laden with gold. Their journey takes a sudden turn when they stumble upon a wounded fisherman adrift in a small boat, his story as mysterious as the island they’ve reached. With Pratt’s signature blend of atmospheric storytelling and intricate art, this first issue of the series establishes a world where adventure and danger drift just beneath the surface.
