Corto Maltese #10

Hugo Pratt's seafaring wanderer Corto Maltese dominates this Euro Comics English edition with a striking close-up rendered in bold black and cream — his hoop earring and guarded, worldly gaze set against an aged cartographic map that hints at South American latitudes, a compass rose bearing his name, and faint vignettes of open countryside and a vintage automobile. The title Tango promises the moody rhythms of the Río de la Plata region, and the cover's atmospheric design — all sepia tones and navigational iconography — captures the melancholy romanticism that has made this series a touchstone of European graphic storytelling. A fine entry point or a welcome addition for anyone following IDW's ongoing effort to bring Pratt's work to English-language readers in 2018.
