Synopsis

Thousands of pages have been written about the inevitable imprint made on the comic book medium by its most famous sailor, the brainchild of adventurer Hugo Pratt. Undisputable literary quality, mainly realistic, but quite an idiosyncratic graphic style, romantic adventurism and detailed historical background of Corto Maltese remain deep in the minds of generations of ninth art lovers. This adaptation of one of the canonical albums, remaining faithful to the original storyline, and its poetic potential are praised even by the strictest comic book purists.
