Corto Maltese

Hugo Pratt’s globe-trotting sailor returns in this 1996–2004 series from Meribérica, collecting nine issues that blend Pratt’s own masterful art with stories co-written by Paula Caetano and Gianfranco de Turris. Building on the classic adventures, these tales continue Corto Maltese’s romantic, melancholy journeys through early 20th-century history and exotic locales. A vital continuation for fans, it showcases Pratt’s signature ink-wash style and literate, picaresque storytelling.
