About the series
In Corto Maltese - Le Etiopiche, Hugo Pratt returns to his iconic wandering sailor for a single, standalone adventure published by Bompiani in 1979. Joined by artist Guido Fuga, Pratt crafts a taut, atmospheric tale set against the backdrop of Ethiopia, continuing the series' tradition of blending historical intrigue with Corto’s laconic, globe-trotting ethos. This brief but resonant installment matters as a late-period addition to Pratt’s celebrated cycle, showcasing his enduring ability to evoke distant times and places with a few deft strokes.
