Le Moine

Le Moine ("The Monk") is a minor but atmospheric character appearing in Hugo Pratt's celebrated Corto Maltese series, inhabiting the same richly drawn world of adventure and intrigue as the wandering sailor Corto Maltese and the volatile Raspoutine.

A figure of quiet intrigue born into the pages of Hugo Pratt's celebrated Corto Maltese in 1975, Le Moine is a Bronze Age creation from Casterman whose world is as atmospheric as the series itself. Sharing those storied pages with the likes of Corto Maltese, Raspoutine, and the memorably named Pandora Groovesnore, this character inhabits one of European comics' most richly imagined universes. Though Le Moine's catalog footprint is modest — a rare presence across a series that endured over four decades — that scarcity only deepens the allure for devoted collectors of Pratt's singular work.
