Corto Maltese - La casa dorata di Samarcanda

In 1987, Rizzoli Libri published this single-volume comic from the legendary Hugo Pratt, who both wrote and co-illustrated the story alongside Guido Fuga. A standalone entry in the Corto Maltese saga, La casa dorata di Samarcanda sends the romantic, world-weary sailor on a quest across the deserts of Central Asia, blending historical adventure with Pratt's signature lyrical, ink-washed storytelling. It stands as a late-period gem from the master of the graphic novel, capturing his enduring fascination with exotic locales and the melancholy of a wandering hero.
