Corto Maltese #1
In "De magiska champinjonerna," Corto Maltese encounters a feverish British lieutenant, Robin Stuart, during a chaotic moment on the Western Front in World War I. As the soldier slips into delirium, strange visions of magical mushrooms begin to unfold, blurring the line between reality and hallucination. Written by Hugo Pratt and Stellan Nehlmark, with art and inks by Pratt and coloring by Anne Frognier, the issue’s haunting atmosphere is perfectly captured in a cover by Pratt himself.
In Maracaibo, Venezuela, 1978, Corto Maltese—still reeling from a mysterious memory loss—finds himself drawn into a strange journey with Jeremiah Steiner, a man with ties to the past. When a local acquaintance, Levi Colombia, proposes a quest for El Dorado, the search leads them into a web of forgotten legends, where Steiner attempts to heal Corto through a mysterious recipe involving enchanted mushrooms.
In "I revolutionens skugga," Corto Maltese finds himself caught in the chaos of a revolution after a dying man hands him a portfolio following a shootout. As he navigates the tense streets, he becomes a target for several rival figures all eager to claim the mysterious contents within.
In the sweltering delta of the Orinoco, Corto Maltese encounters Lieutenant Robin Stuart, a feverish English soldier who’s fled from his regiment on the Western Front. As the man slips into delirium, his hallucinations paint a haunting, dreamlike vision of war’s hidden cost—revealing more than just a deserter’s guilt.
