Corto Maltese #[4]

Mar 1990 · Casterman · [none]
“Le Secret de Tristan Bantam”

In "Le Secret de Tristan Bantam," Hugo Pratt delivers another masterful chapter in the adventures of Corto Maltese, as the enigmatic sailor is drawn into a mysterious quest by the young Tristan Bantam. With Pratt handling writing, art, inks, and Zanotti’s subtle coloring, the story unfolds through cryptic ancient texts and a journey to reunite with a long-lost half-sister—unfolding with the same atmospheric depth and quiet intensity that define the series. The cover, also by Pratt, captures the mood of intrigue and solitude that permeates the tale.
