Corto Maltese #12
This volume collects the twelfth installment of Hugo Pratt's iconic Corto Maltese series, titled 'Das Reich Mu' (The Mu Empire). It follows the enigmatic sailor Corto Maltese as he embarks on a mystical adventure involving the lost continent of Mu, blending historical fiction with esoteric themes. The edition is part of Carlsen Comics' comprehensive German-language collection of Pratt's work, presented in a comic art format that highlights the detailed black-and-white artwork and narrative depth of the series.
In "Mu, the Lost Continent," Corto Maltese ventures along the shores of Central America in a final, dreamlike quest for a fabled land, haunted by a sense of inevitability. The story’s quiet intensity is deepened by the return of key figures from his long journey, as if the past were converging on this last chapter. Written by Hugo Pratt and Dean Mullaney, with art by Pratt and Guido Fuga, and featuring Pratt’s distinctive inks, this issue stands as a poignant culmination of the saga. The cover, penciled and inked by Hugo Pratt, captures the mystery with a timeless, evocative touch.
